Mustard-crusted pork chops are a delightful and savory dish that combines the robust flavors of mustard and spices with the satisfying crunch of a breadcrumb coating. This recipe is perfect for a special occasion or a wholesome family dinner. Using a few simple ingredients, you can create a mouth-watering meal that everyone will enjoy.
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.
