Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 boneless pork chops, about 1/4-inch thick
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 thick slices white bread, Texas toast style
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Method

  • Preheat the broiler on high, with the rack 5 to 6 inches from the heat.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the salt, sugar, pepper and cinnamon.
  • Season the pork chops on both sides with the salt mixture.
  • Place the chops on a baking sheet and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Flip the chops and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more, until firm to the touch.
  • Transfer the chops to a plate.
  • Tent loosely with aluminum foil and set aside.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla until frothy.
  • With a sharp serrated knife, split the bread horizontally, leaving one end intact like a book.
  • Place a pork chop inside each slice of bread.
  • Preheat a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the butter and heat until melted.
  • Dip one bread package into the egg mixture, coating well.
  • Place it directly in the skillet.
  • Repeat for two more slices, or whatever will fit in your pan.
  • Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Flip and cook 2 to 3 minutes more, until the other side is golden brown.
  • Transfer the stuffed toast to a platter and cover loosely.
  • Repeat the process, using the remaining butter and bread until done.
  • Serve immediately.
