ingredients

4 pork chops, 1/2 inch thick,patted dry
flour (for dredging)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
1 ¹⁄₂ cups fresh sour dough breadcrumbs
¹⁄₄ teaspoon dried thyme
¹⁄₄ teaspoon dried marjoram
¹⁄₄ teaspoon dried basil
extra virgin olive oil, for shallow frying
2 lemon wedges

directions

Put the flour in a shallow bowl or lipped plate.
Break the eggs into another shallow bowl and whisk with the salt and pepper.
In a third shallow bowl mix the breadcrumbs with herbs.
Bread the chops.
Dredge a chop in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat the meat evenly with the breadcrumbs.
Set on a piece of waxed paper or baking sheet.
Repeat with the remaining chops.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to come halfway up the sides of the chops, about 1/4 cup.
When the oil shimmers, add the chops and fry 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately with lemon wedges.
NOTE: To make sourdough bread crumbs, trim off and discard the crust of a fresh sourdough loaf (stale bread crumbs absorb more oil during frying), and pulse it in a food processor into crumbs.
