Yes — absolutely 👍 and honestly this is very common and works great. You can do a 2-step breading using a seasoned flour + egg, then make quick homemade breadcrumbs from whatever bread or crackers you have.

Here’s the easiest version with the least mess:

==== ### ====
* Boneless pork chops
* Flour
* Eggs (1–2)
* Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (optional)
* Bread for crumbs (sandwich bread, hamburger buns, rolls, even crackers)
* Oil for frying

===== Choose one method: =====
* Toast method (best): - Toast bread until dry. - Crush with your hands, a bag + rolling pin, or pulse in a blender.
* No-toast method (works fine): - Tear bread into tiny pieces and crush well.

👉 Season crumbs lightly with salt & pepper if you want.

===== In a shallow bowl, whisk together: =====
* ½–¾ cup flour
* 1–2 eggs
* ½ tsp salt
* ¼ tsp pepper
* ½ tsp garlic powder or paprika

It should look like a thick pancake batter. Add a splash of water or milk if it’s too thick.

===== 1. Pat pork chops dry. =====
# Dip each chop into the flour-egg mixture, coating both sides.
# Press into homemade breadcrumbs until coated.

===== 1. Heat ¼ inch oil in a skillet over medium-high. =====
# Fry 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
# Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

===== - Fewer bowls ✔️ =====
* Breadcrumbs stick better ✔️
* Homemade crumbs give a classic schnitzel texture ✔️

===== - Add Parmesan to crumbs =====
* Finish with lemon juice
* Serve with applesauce or gravy

This will still give you that crispy schnitzel vibe and pairs perfectly with your green beans + roasted potatoes. If you want a no-egg version or air-fryer option, just say the word 😊
