Pork Milanese with Spicy Dijon Mayo Sauce
Servings: 6 -8
Ingredients
PORK
- ½ cup flour
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
- ⅔ cup parmesan
- 3 tablespoon fresh basil
- 2 teaspoon thyme
- 6-8 boneless pork chops about ½ inch thick
- ⅔ cup vegetable oil

SPICY DIJON MAYO SAUCE

- 2 teaspoon spicy brown mustard
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Combine bread crumbs, parmesan, basil and thyme in a shallow mixing bowl.
- Beat eggs in a small bowl and flour into another.
- Dredge pork chops through the flour, then egg (letting excess drip off), and then through the bread crumb mixture.
- Place on baking sheet, cover in plastic wrap and refrigerate chops for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to lowest heat setting (mine is 150).

Notes
BREAD CRUMBS
You can use 2 cups bread crumbs from a can but I recently discovered how to make them fresh and I definitely love it that way. Do not leave the bread out to go stale, just under-toast about 4 slices of whole wheat bread before using to dry it out. Wait until they're no longer warm and put them in the food processor and pulse until it makes very fine crumbs.
