For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the bread crumbs. If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir into the sauce during the last 15 minutes of baking. Ensure the pork chops are cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for optimal tenderness and safety. Use a meat thermometer to check.

Step

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)

Step
10 mins
Dip each pork chop in the beaten eggs, then dredge in the panko bread crumbs, ensuring an even coating. (10 minutes)
03
Step
20 mins
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated pork chops in a single layer until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.

In a saucepan, combine the tomato juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, ground cloves, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. (10 minutes)
05
Step
2 mins
Pour the tomato juice mixture evenly over the pork chops in the baking dish. (2 minutes)

Step
