Serves 4; 1 pork chop per serving
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Lightly spray an 8-inch-square baking pan with vegetable oil spray. Put the flour and egg substitute in two separate shallow bowls. In a food processor, process the remaining ingredients except the pork chops until the bread is chopped into crumbs and the herbs are coarsely chopped. Put the mixture into a third shallow bowl. Set the bowls with the flour, egg substitute, and bread-crumb mixture and the baking pan in a row, assembly-line fashion. Coat a pork chop with the flour, shaking off the excess. Coat it with the egg substitute, then with the bread crumb mixture. Place in the baking pan. Repeat with the remaining pork chops. Bake for 45 minutes, or until the pork is no longer pink in the center.
