Pork Chops with Spinach Fritters

10 oz. package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 onion, finely chopped - approx. 1/4 cup
3 large eggs
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt & Pepper
1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
4 pork loin chops - approx. 2 lbs.
6 Tbsp. EVOO

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a large bowl, stir together the spinach, onion, 2 eggs, flour, and cumin; season with salt & pepper. 

Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl.  Beat the remaining egg in another shallow bowl.  Dip each chop in the beaten egg, then coat with the breadcrumbs.  In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1/4 cup EVOO over medium-high heat.  Add the pork chops and cook until browned (approx. 3 minutes each side).  Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer registers 150 degrees (approx. 15 minutes). 

Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. EVOO over medium heat.  Spoon heaping spoonfulls of the spinach batter into the oil.  Cook the fritters until crisp and browned, about 2 minutes on each side.  Serve with the chops.
