Baking Temperature: 425 degrees
Time: 17 to 25 minutes
Ingredients:
Place oven rack in middle of oven and heat to 425 degrees. Dissolve 1/4 cup salt in 1 quart water in container with cover. Submerge chops, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes. Rinse chops under cold water and dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Place 1/4 cup flour in pie plate. In second pie plate, whisk egg whites and mustard until combined; add remaining 6 tablespoons flour to mixed eggs and whisk until almost smooth, with pea-sized lumps remaining.
Spray wire rack with nonstick cooking spray and place in rimmed baking sheet. Season chops with pepper. Place each pork chop in flour and shake off excess.
Using tongs, coat each chop with egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off. Coat all sides of chops with croutons, pressing gently so that a thick layer of croutons stick to chop. Transfer breaded chops to wire rack.
Bake until thermometer inserted into center of chops registers 150 degrees, 17 to 25 minutes.
Let rest on rack 5 minutes before serving with lemon wedges.
