Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F.
2. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. In a separate dish, combine the seasoned bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, and dried parsley.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook just until lightly golden and fragrant, then remove and discard or reserve for another use.
4. Dip each piece of pork in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then press into the crumb mixture to coat all sides. Place in the hot skillet and brown until golden, about 5 minutes per side.
5. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F, about 25 minutes. Rest 3–5 minutes before serving.
