Each pork chop should be dipped in the milk/eggs mixture. Afterwards, dip each chop in the mix in the plastic bag. Make sure to drip off any extra eggs/milk mixture of the chop before dipping it in the mixture bag. After thoroughly coating each pork chop, place it on the cookie sheet.
Preheat your oven to a temperature of approximately 350 degrees Fahrenheit. For the oven baked pork chops to be well done, they need to be cooked for about 40 minutes.
