Instructions
  1. Mix flour, garlic & onion powder, salt, red & black pepper in a shallow container for dredging.
  2. Put the beaten egg in one shallow dish, and milk in another shallow dish.
  3. Combine 1 Tbsp each butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and oil and butter are shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Coat pork chops, one at a time, in milk, then dredge in flour mix, then coat with beaten egg, and finally dredge again in flour mix, trying to keep the pork chop completely covered with the coating. Place carefully in skillet.
  5. Cook for ~3-5 minutes, depending on the thickness, until the coating in light golden brown and slightly crispy, and you can see where it is starting to cook up the sides of the chops. Turn carefully to keep breading intact, and turn away from you to avoid grease spatter and burns. Cook another 3-5 minutes as needed, then remove from the skillet and cover with foil for a few minutes before eating. If at any time the skillet is without any butter/oil, or starts sticking, add more butter & oil as needed. Serve hot.
  6. OPTIONAL: If you have any burnt crunchy bit on the bottom of the skillet, you can stir in a few herbs or onions; deglaze with chicken or beef stock, water, or wine; mix in a Tbsp or two or flour, and cook at medium-low heat until thickened and ready to use as a pan sauce.
