Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Parmesan Pork Chops
Oven Baked 3-Ingredient Parmesan Pork Chops are juicy, tender, and topped with a golden, bubbly parmesan crust. This easy weeknight dinner needs only pork chops, mayonnaise, and parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless pork chops about 1 inch thick (roughly 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds total)
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese the fine kind from a can or freshly grated
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise regular full-fat mayonnaise
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 400°F and set out a clear glass 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Pat the pork chops dry on both sides with paper towels so the topping holds on and browns better.
- In a small bowl, stir together the parmesan cheese and mayonnaise until you have a thick, spreadable paste.
- Arrange the pork chops in one layer in the glass baking dish, leaving a little room between them.
- Divide the parmesan mixture over the tops of the pork chops and use the back of a spoon to spread it right to the edges in a fairly even layer.
- Bake on the center rack for 20 to 25 minutes, until the pork chops reach 145°F in the thickest part and the topping is melted, bubbly, and starting to turn golden.
- For a deeper golden top, switch the oven to broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end, watching closely so the parmesan does not scorch.
- Let the chops rest in the dish for about 5 minutes before serving, then spoon some of the cheesy drippings over each chop if desired.
Notes
Store leftover pork chops in a covered container in the refrigerator for about 3 days, keeping the pan juices with them if possible. Reheat in a baking dish covered loosely with foil in a 325°F oven until heated through, or microwave on lower power in short bursts with a splash of pan juices to help keep the pork from turning rubbery. These pork chops can also be eaten cold from the refrigerator if desired.
