Notes
Oven Method:
Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the coated pork chops on a greased baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the pork reaches 145°F and the crust is golden brown. Stovetop Method:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a small amount of oil. Cook the coated pork chops 5–7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, reaching 145°F internally. Grill Method:
Preheat your grill to medium-high and lightly oil the grates. Grill the pork chops 6–8 minutes per side, covered if possible, until the cheese crust is browned and the internal temperature reaches 145°F. Instant Pot / Pressure Cooker Method:
Use the sauté function to brown the coated pork chops for 2–3 minutes per side. Then cook under high pressure for 3–4 minutes with a quick release, keeping them tender and juicy.
