Ingredients

  • 6

    boneless pork loin chops ( about 5 ounces each)

  • 3/4 cup

    all-purpose flour

  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1/4 cup

    half-and-half or whole milk

  • 3

    large eggs

  • 1 1/2 cups

    seasoned breadcrumbs 

  • 3

    to 4 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3

    to 4 tablespoons salted butter

  • 1

    small piece parmesan cheese

  • 5 oz.

    baby arugula, baby spinach, or spring greens

  • 2

    lemons, cut into wedges

Directions

    1. Step 1Place the pork chops between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and use a mallet or a rolling pin to pound them very thin (no thicker than ¼ inch). If you think they're thin enough, pound 'em a few more times—the thinner the better! 
    2. Step 2Place the flour in a shallow dish and mix in some salt and pepper. In another dish, whisk together the half-and-half and eggs. Place the breadcrumbs in a third dish. Set the 3 dishes aside.
    3. Step 3Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and pepper. Coat them one at a time in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and then in the breadcrumbs. Lay in a single layer on a baking sheet until you’re ready to cook them.
    4. Step 4Combine 1 tablespoon each olive oil and butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. When the butter is melted and hot, add 2 breaded pork chops and cook until the breading is golden brown and the pork is cooked through, about 2 minutes per side (add more oil or butter to the skillet when you flip, if necessary). Remove to a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining oil, butter, and pork in two more batches.
    5. Step 5Shave the parmesan using a vegetable peeler. Place a piece of pork on each plate and top with the greens. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the greens, then sprinkle with a little salt. Top with the parmesan shavings and serve with more lemon wedges.
