1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 / 3 cup all-purpose flour

cup milk (whole, reduced fat, low-fat, or fat-free)
1 large egg, beaten until frothy
4 boneless center cut loin chops, about 6 ounces each
Place Cuisinart ® Toaster Oven Broiler rack in position “B” and preheat oven to
375°F on the “Bake” setting. Press “Start/Stop” button. Add 1/4 cup water to
the baking pan; place drip tray in the baking pan in the lower position and
lightly coat with cooking spray.
Combine garlic powder and next 6 ingredients in a small bowl (through black
pepper). Divide spice mixture in half and reserve each half in a flat pan (such
as a pie plate). Add the flour to one pan and mix with rest of the spices; add
the wheat germ and bread crumbs to the second pan and mix with spices. In
a third shallow pan, combine the milk and beaten egg.
Dredge each pork chop in the spiced flour mixture. Dip in the milk mixture,
then coat completely with the spiced crumb mixture. Arrange the pork chops
in a single layer on the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes; turn and bake
until juices run clear, about 15 minutes longer. (Internal temperature of pork
should be 160°F – pork will be juicy and tender with just a hint of pink.) Out-
sides of the pork chops should be golden brown. Press “Start/Stop” button.
