Ingredients
- 1 slice good-quality white bread, torn into pieces
- 1 ounce grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Crunchy Coating
To create the perfect crunchy coating, start by processing the bread into coarse crumbs using a food processor. Then, combine the crumbs with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, chopped sage, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
Assembly and Cooking
Coat each pork chop with flour, shaking off excess, before dipping it into the Dijon mustard and egg white mixture. Finally, coat the chop in the crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add oil, and cook the pork chops for 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Serve immediately and enjoy!
