Recipe

Juicy pork chops wrapped in a shatteringly crisp Parmesan crust — this is the weeknight dinner that feels like a restaurant treat. One bite and you get that satisfying crackle, followed by tender meat and the nutty, salty kiss of real Parmesan. It’s comfort food dialed up to eleven.

The secret to the absolute best crust? Freshly grated Parmesan that melts into every crevice and bakes up extra crunchy. The Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater turns a hard block into fluffy, perfect shreds faster than you can say “dinner is ready”.

🧂Ingredients (Serves 4)

4 boneless or bone-in pork chops (about 1-inch thick)

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan

¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano + basil)

½ tsp smoked paprika (optional)

2 large eggs

Salt & freshly cracked black pepper

Olive oil or cooking spray

🔥Step-by-Step: The Crispiest Crust Ever

Grate the Parmesan

Lock your cheese grater hand crank onto the counter with its suction base. Pop in the fine shred blade, feed in a cold block of real Parmesan, and crank away — you’ll have a mountain of light, fluffy shreds in seconds (way better than pre-grated!).

Prep the Chops

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

Make the Golden Coating

In a shallow bowl, combine your grated Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, Italian herbs, paprika, and extra black pepper.

Egg Wash Station

Whisk eggs with a tiny splash of water in another bowl.

Coat Like a Pro

Dip each chop in egg (let excess drip), then press firmly into the Parmesan-panko mix. Pack it on thick — the fresh shreds stick like magic.

Cook to Perfection

Oven: 425°F on a lined sheet, light oil spray, bake until 145°F internal and crust is deep golden.

Skillet: Sear 3–4 min per side in hot oil, finish in oven if needed.

Rest & Serve

Rest 3–5 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges or your favorite side.

🧀Tips & Twists

Extra Crunch – Sprinkle a final shower of fresh Geedel-grated Parmesan right before serving.

Spicy Kick – Add cayenne to the coating.

Cheesy Surprise – Slip a mozzarella slice under the crust.

Air Fryer – 400°F until golden and juicy.
