• 1 cup bleached all-purpose flour

• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup milk

1. One at a time, using a thin sharp knife, cut a slit into the side of the meaty part of each chop, about 3 inches long and 1-inch deep, being careful not to cut all the way through to the bone.
2. Gently open out the chop so the meat surface is about twice as wide as before.
3. Place the chop between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap on a work surface.
4. Using a flat meat mallet, pound the meat until 1/4-inch thick.
5. Season both sides of each chop with 1/2 teaspoon of the Essence.

9. Dredge the chops in the seasoned flour and shake off excess.
10. Dip in the egg wash, and then coat both sides with the bread crumbs.
11. Set on a baking sheet.
12. Heat the clarified butter in a large heavy nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
13. Two at a time, add the chops and cook until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
