Panko Parmesan Pork Chops

I love me some pork chops.  I don't eat them much....but when I do, I want the good kind with the bone.  No boneless chops for me!  This is a new way I tried tonight....liked them....a lot.  Served with Garlic Cheese Mashed Potatoes....a family standby. (I'll post the recipe tomorrow!)

Panko Parmesan Pork Chops

8 bone-in pork chops (I got mine @ Costco)
4 eggs-beaten
3 c. Panko
3/4 c. parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a sheet pan with Pam and put in the oven to heat up while you prepare the chops.  This will help the chops stay crispy as they bake.
Combine the panko and parmesan cheese in a shallow pie plate.  Beat the eggs and put them in a shallow dish. Salt the pork chops and then dip them in the beaten eggs.  Place them in the dish of panko-parm and coat well.  Place on a plate and finish the rest of the chops.  When all are coated...go to the oven....your sheet pan should be nice and hot. Using tongs, place the coated pork chops on the pan....yes, the pan is still in the oven. BE CAREFUL!  Don't crowd them or they will be mushy when they are done.  Bake them for about 30 minutes or until cooked through!  Flip them over with tongs about halfway through.  Yum!
