  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to fry chops in breadcrumbs? Prepare the products. For cooking chops, it is best to take meat without fat. The ideal option is carbonate. He has good shapes to cut even chops. Cut the pork into portions 1.5 - 2 centimeters thick.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Cover a piece of meat with cling film and beat it well with a cooking hammer on both sides. The film is necessary so that the edges of the piece do not become torn and splashes from the meat do not fly around the kitchen.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Prepare two plates. Break the eggs into one of them, and pour breadcrumbs into the other.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Add salt and spices to the eggs. Shake everything a little with a whisk or fork.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Dip each piece of beaten meat first into an egg, and then roll in breadcrumbs.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Heat the frying pan over high heat and pour a little vegetable oil. To check whether the oil has warmed up well enough in a frying pan, you can do it in a simple way. Lower a wooden spatula into it. If bubbles have gathered around it, then you can start the frying process. Put the panicked chops on it. Fry them on high heat for a minute on each side. With such roasting, the breading will immediately grab the crust, and the meat juice will remain inside.

    Step 7.

    Then make the fire smaller and cook for another 4-5 minutes on each side so that the meat has time to fry inside. It is not necessary to cover with a lid. Such chops are interesting precisely because they form a crispy crust on the outside. And it won't be under the lid. Place the finished chops on plates and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!

Chops can be cooked by simply chipping the meat and frying it. But I still recommend making it in breadcrumbs.  The meat juice is sealed inside and the meat is well soaked in the juice itself. It is also a plus that the breaded meat does not splash hot fat when frying.
Such chops are delicious on their own. But they can also be supplemented with any side dish and delicious sauce. But the best side dish for meat, in my opinion, are fresh or stewed vegetables. You can even just make a vegetable salad. It will be not only delicious, but also useful!

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.

In addition to pork, any other meat can be used in this dish. Keep in mind that the cooking time, as well as the taste and calorie content of the dish will change. For example, beef is cooked longer than pork, and chicken fillet or turkey is less.
