👩‍🍳 Procedure

1. Prep the oven & pan

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with foil, grease lightly, and place a rack on top. Spray the rack to prevent sticking.

2. Make the egg wash

In a bowl, whisk together beaten eggs, milk, garlic salt, and pepper.

3. Prepare the breadcrumb mixture

In a shallow dish, combine panko, parmesan, lemon pepper, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of garlic salt. Mix well.

4. Coat the pork chops

Season chops lightly with garlic salt.
Dip each chop into the egg wash, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
Place coated chops on the prepared rack.

5. Add butter & bake

Drizzle melted butter over each chop (and a little on the foil beneath for extra flavor).
Bake for 30 minutes, then check doneness with a fork.
Flip chops and bake an additional 5–10 minutes until both sides are golden and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

6. Serve & enjoy
