Ingredients
Low Carb Parmesan Crust
2 tsp. Water
1 Large egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. Lemon zest
1/2 tsp. Minced fresh garlic
1 tbsp. Minced fresh parsley
1/2 cup Crushed pork rinds
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. Avocado oil or olive oil
Salt and pepper
1.5 pounds Boneless pork chops
Method
01
Let the pork come to room temperature for 20-30 minutes before beginning or alternately put into the microwave for about 30 seconds. Pat the pork dry with a paper towel. Season well with salt and pepper. Beat the egg and water in a shallow bowl large enough to fit a pork chop.
02
Place the grated Parmesan cheese and crushed pork rinds onto a large dinner plate. Mince the garlic and parsley and add to the cheese. Zest a small lemon, adding the zest to the plate. Mix well with fingers to combine ingredients.
03
Heat a large frying pan over medium heat until hot. Pick up a chop with a fork and put it in the beaten egg. Flip it over a few times to fully cover, lift with a fork and let any extra egg runoff. Place it into the Parmesan coating and push and wiggle it into the mixture to make sure it is completely coated.
04
Pour the oil into the pan and swirl to coat. Add the crumbed pork chop and put it into the pan. Repeat the breading procedure with the remaining pork chops.
05
When the pork chops are all in the pan, set the timer for 3 minutes. When time is up flip the 1st pork chop. Wait 1 minute and flip the next. Wait another minute and flip the third pork chop. Wait 1 minute and flip the last pork chop.
06
Set the timer again for 3 minutes. Check the pork by pressing the top lightly with the finger. If it's squishy, it's not done. If it's firm, it's done. Pork should be cooked until the internal temperature is 165 ℉. Use an instant-read thermometer to check.
07
When time is up, remove the 1st chop to a place and tent loosely with foil. Remove the remaining pork chops to the plate 1 minute apart just like you did for flipping in step 6. Let rest for 10 minutes and serve.
08
Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the pork chops and the temperature of your pan. Please use common sense and a thermometer to make sure your pork is cooked to your liking.
