So tender and delicious! One of the best baked pork chop recipes I have ever made. The coating was crispy and the egg marinade gave it a great flavor! I will make these on a regular basis!

I made these but used 1" thick pork chops. The flavor and the breading was great but the chops were just too big, next time I will just stick with the suggested 1/2" chops.
