Description

Elevate your pork chops with this Parmesan Cheez-It Baked Pork Chops recipe! Coated with creamy mayo and a crispy crust of crushed white cheddar Cheez-Its and Parmesan, these golden baked chops are cheesy, crunchy, and irresistible.

 

Ingredients

Units Scale

Meat:

  • 14 thinly cut pork chops

Condiments:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise

Baking & Spices:

  • Seasoning (salt, pepper, or your favorite spice blend, to taste)

Dairy:

  • 2 cups crushed white cheddar Cheez-Its
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Prepare the Coating:

  1. Crush the Cheez-Its:
    • Place the Cheez-Its in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely crumbled. Mix the crumbs with the grated Parmesan cheese in a shallow bowl.
  2. Season the Pork Chops:
    • Season both sides of the pork chops with your preferred seasoning blend (salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, etc.).
  3. Prepare the Mayo Coating:
    • In a separate bowl, spread the mayonnaise evenly over the pork chops.

Coat the Pork Chops:

  1. Dredge in the Cheez-It Mixture:
    • Dip each mayo-coated pork chop into the Cheez-It and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crust adheres.

Bake the Pork Chops:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Arrange and Bake:
    • Place the coated pork chops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C) and the crust is golden brown.
  3. Optional Broil for Extra Crunch:
    • Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking for an even crispier crust, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Enjoy:
    • Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • Substitute Cheez-Its with another flavored cracker, like Ritz or panko breadcrumbs, for a different texture or flavor.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the Cheez-It mixture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
