How To Make bea's pork parmigiana
-
Step 1Pour about 1 cup of the tomato pasta sauce over the bottom of a 9”x13” baking pan and set aside. Just enough sauce to cover the bottom.
-
Step 2Place the pork medallions, one at a time, between two pieces of plastic wrap, and beat lightly with a rubber mallet until about 1/2 thick. This tenderizes the meat. Set aside.
-
Step 3Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, oregano, onion powder, and salt in a shallow dish.
-
Step 4Whisk the eggs together in another shallow bowl.
-
Step 5Dip the pork pieces in the egg, and then coat with the bread crumb mixture.
-
Step 6Heat oil to medium-high heat and brown the coated pork pieces, 3 to 4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
-
Step 7Place the browned pork pieces over the sauce in the pan in a single layer.
-
Step 8Add the remaining tomato pasta sauce, then sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the sauce.
-
Step 9Cover with foil and place in a preheated 350-degree Fahrenheit oven for 30 minutes.
-
Step 10Remove the foil and cook for another 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and starts to brown.
-
Step 11Garnish with chopped parsley and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
