Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13 x 9-inch baking dish and set aside.
2
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, and season them generously with seasoning salt and garlic powder on both sides.
3
Prepare three separate bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with seasoned dry breadcrumbs.
4
In a skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium heat until hot.
5
Coat each pork chop in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip them into the beaten eggs, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, coat each chop thoroughly in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
6
Carefully place the breaded pork chops in the hot skillet, browning them for about 4-5 minutes per side until they are light golden brown.
7
Transfer the browned pork chops to the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.
9
While the pork chops bake, prepare the mushroom gravy by combining the cream of mushroom soup, sliced mushrooms, milk, white wine, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a mixing bowl. Stir until well combined.
10
After baking the pork chops for 1 hour, remove them from the oven and carefully pour the creamy mushroom gravy over the chops. If using, sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
11
Return the dish to the oven, cover with foil, and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pork chops are tender and cooked through. Serve warm and enjoy!
