1 large egg

4 large pork loin chops, minimum 1-inch thick (about 6 ounces each)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
10 ounces cream of mushroom soup (undiluted)
3 ounces packaged onion soup mix
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup grated padano cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon of cold water.
Add seasoned bread crumbs to a separate bowl.
Dip pork chops in the egg mixture, then toss in the bread crumbs to coat well.
In a large frying pan on medium-high heat, add olive oil, then add coated pork chops and fry for 2 minutes, turn over and fry for an additional 2 minutes or until chops are a golden brown.
Prepare a 9" x 9" oven-proof casserole dish by rubbing inside with 1 tablespoon of butter.
Place browned pork chops into the prepared casserole dish in a single layer.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together mushroom soup, onion soup mix, 3/4 cup of water and whisk well to blend.
Pour mixture over the pork chops.
Sprinkle the top of the pork chops with padano cheese.
Bake in preheated 350 F oven for 45 minutes.
Reduce heat to 325 F, turn pork chops over and continue to cook for another 15 to 20 minutes or until pork chops are tender.
*NOTE: Mix together 1/2 cup of sour dough bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon of granulated garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
