Week 42 - Parmesan Breaded Porkchops

I don't know what my problem is but I am not able to make anything breaded to save myself. Here is yet another attempt to bread a hunk of meat...

• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg
• 2 Tbsp milk
• 1 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers (I used townhouse)
• 3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 6 boneless pork loin chops

I think several things went awry in this particular attempt.

1.) The meat had an old, gamey flavor to it. I suspect that regardless of the seasoning and preparation, the meat probably would not have turned out as well as it could have.

2.) I don't think I cooked it long enough. Instead of a gold brown crust, I had soggy, buttery mush. It somewhat reminded me of pig food... Ironic, given that it was pork.

3.) I think it needed more seasoning. Townhouse crackers aren't exactly known for their aromatic properties...

I am bound and determined to figure out how to bread something properly. However, I think I need to look elsewhere for a better concept. I give this recipe 3.5 stars out of 10. It just didn't quite do it for me. I actually threw some of it away which is almost unheard of for me.
