Spicy Baked Pork Chops

Ingredients:

Vegetable oil spray
Egg substitute equivalent to 1 egg, or 1 egg
2 tablespoons fat-free milk
1/3 cup cornflake crumbs
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon dry mustard
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
1 pound boneless pork loin chops, all visible fat discarded, cut into 4 portions

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Using vegetable oil spray, lightly spray a shallow baking pan large enough to hold the pork chops in a single layer.

In a small, shallow bowl, stir together the egg substitute and milk.

In a shallow dish such as a pie pan, combine the crumbs, cornmeal, marjoram, pepper, mustard, ginger, and cayenne. Using tongs, dip the pork chops in the milk mixture, letting excess liquid drip off. Coat both sides of the pork chops with the crumb mixture. Put the chops in the prepared pan.

Bake, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Turn the chops. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the chops are tender and just slightly pink in the center.
