Olive oil and butter are often used in combination when pan frying dishes such as these breaded pork chops. This not only adds delicious buttery flavor along with the taste from the olive oil, but they work together to give you the best final texture and to keep the food from burning. Olive oil has a higher smoke point than butter, but if you use only olive oil the dish may come out too oily. If you use only butter, the butter will likely burn in the pan before your dish is ready. By combining them, you get the best of both worlds with a lighter fried result and no burning.
