brown, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan; keep warm.
Wipe

Kitchen tips :
When
adding a crumb coating, keep one hand for the wet ingredients (pork chops and
eggs) and the other for the dry ingredients (crumb mixture) for less mess.
A
1-pound pork tenderloin can be substituted for the pork chops. Cut the tenderloin
into 8 slices then pound to 1/4-in. thickness.
Cooking
the pork chops in batches keeps them from overcrowding the pan. More space
means less steam and a crispier crust.
