Ingredients

  • 2 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make Crispy Pork Chop with Mustard Sauce

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, add the flour. In a second dish, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.
  4. Dredge each pork chop in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, then coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
  5. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded pork chops and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  7. While the pork chops are baking, prepare the creamy mustard sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream, thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Once the pork chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve with the creamy mustard sauce drizzled on top.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in a mix of olive oil, garlic, and herbs for at least an hour before breading.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork is cooked perfectly.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the Dijon mustard for whole grain mustard for a different texture and flavor.
  • Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for an added depth of flavor.
  • For a healthier version, bake the pork chops without frying first—just coat them in breadcrumbs and bake for about 25-30 minutes.

What to Serve With It

  • Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower for a comforting side.
  • Steamed green beans or roasted Brussels sprouts for a fresh crunch.
  • A simple arugula salad with lemon vinaigrette to balance the richness.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pork chops in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. Reheat the sauce separately on the stovetop.
