Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the mustard, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and sage. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully integrated to form a smooth paste.
Pat each pork fillet dry with paper towels. Using a brush or your fingers, coat each fillet evenly with the mustard mixture.
Spread the bread crumbs on a plate or shallow dish. Press each mustard-coated fillet into the crumbs, ensuring an even crust on all sides. Shake off any excess crumbs.
Heat 3 tbsp of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the pork fillets. Sear them for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
Place the seared pork fillets in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) and the meat is cooked through.
Remove the pork fillets from the oven and let them rest on a cutting board for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices and enhances the flavor.
Slice the pork fillets if desired and serve immediately. They pair well with a variety of sides such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Pounding the pork fillets slightly before coating them can help ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- For an extra crunchy coating, try mixing in some grated Parmesan cheese with the bread crumbs.
- Let the coated pork chops sit for a few minutes before cooking to help the coating adhere better.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Consider pairing the pork chops with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables to balance the flavors.
These mustard-crusted pork chops are a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to impress family and friends. With a balanced combination of crispy bread crumbs, savory mustard, and aromatic herbs and spices, this recipe is both easy to make and incredibly delicious. Enjoy your perfectly cooked pork chops with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
