- 2 eggs
- 1 cup almond meal

- Dip pork chops, one at a time, in beaten eggs and then dredge in almond meal mixture and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Add half the pork chops to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until the coating has browned and the internal temperature reaches 145° – 155°F /65C.
