This is my own variation of Mr. Food's recipe. I've always liked my pork chops cooked a bit longer than most chefs do, and I've always had excellent results doing it my way. So here is my version with a few tweaks!

How to Make GARLIC PARMESAN PORK CHOPS with PINE NUTS

Step-by-Step

Sprinkle the pork chops evenly with salt and pepper.
Place flour in a small shallow bowl with Italian seasoning; mix together.
Break eggs into a second small shallow bowl and beat lightly.
In another bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs and half the Parmesan cheese.
Dip both sides of each pork chop in first the flour, then the egg, and then the bread crumbs. Place chops on a sprayed, rimmed baking sheet.
Bake pork chops in a preheated 375-degree oven for 40-50 minutes, turning once halfway through baking time.
Melt 1 Tbsp. butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; add garlic and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in cream and remaining Parmesan; reduce heat to low and simmer 3 to 4 minutes (DO NOT BOIL). Whisk in the remaining butter until melted.
Serve the sauce over hot pork chops. May garnish with parsley.
