Crispy Parmesan Baked Pork Chops: A Flavor-Packed Dinner Favorite

Serve hot with a squeeze of lemon or a drizzle of balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
Avoid microwaving, as it may make the coating soggy.

Herb Twist: Mix in 1 tsp dried basil, oregano, or thyme for extra flavor.
Gluten-Free Option: Use almond flour or crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs.
Cheese Swap: Try shredded mozzarella or a mix of Parmesan and Asiago for a different cheesy crust.
