Bring the pork chops out of the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes before beginning. (It's okay if you miss this step - we haven't died yet.)
Pat the pork dry with a paper towel. Season well with salt and pepper.
Beat the egg and water together in a bowl large enough to fit a pork chop.

Mix the grated Parmesan cheese, crushed pork rinds, minced garlic, optional lemon zest, and parsley on a large dinner plate. You can use your fingers to mix it - no one's looking.

Add a 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil to a pan on medium high and heat until hot but not smoking.
Pick up a chop with a fork and put it in the beaten egg. Flip it over a few times to fully cover, lift with fork and let any extra egg run off. Place it into the Parmesan coating and push and wiggle it into the mixture to mike sure it is completely coated.
Using a fork, add the crumbed pork chop to the pan. (Don't use your fingers or the breading will come off on them.)
Repeat the breading procedure with the remaining pork chops. If your pan is small, do this one at a time, or if you have room for more you can cook more than one chop at a time.
Brown for 3 minutes each side, then lower the heat to medium and cook for an additional 4.5 minutes each side. If the cut is very thick (1 inch or more), cook for an additional 4 minutes.
