5 Dip the chops in the egg. Make sure it is thoroughly covered on both sides, then place it in the plate with the Parmesan mixture.
6 Place the chops on the baking tray and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes until golden brown. Grill for the last 5 minutes to make it crispy.
7 While the chops are in the oven, steam the cauliflower until completely soft.
