Spicy Baked Pork Chops with Mary’s Cracker Breadcrumbs

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless pork chops

• 1 cup Mary’s Gone Crackers breadcrumbs

• 1 egg

• 1 tbsp crushed Calabrian chili peppers

• Spicy red sauce (or here’s my homemade recipe)

• Pickled cherry peppers, sliced

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: Grated Parmesan cheese for topping

• Optional: Avocado oil spray for extra crispness

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (convection).

2. Pat pork chops dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with Calabrian chilis and a pinch of salt.

4. In a separate shallow bowl, add the Mary’s Cracker breadcrumbs.

5. Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, then press into the breadcrumbs until well coated.

6. Place the coated pork chops on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

7. Optional: Lightly spray with avocado oil to help them crisp.

8. Bake for 12 minutes.

9. Remove from the oven and spoon spicy red sauce and cherry peppers over the pork chops. Top with grated Parmesan if using.

10. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
