Best Ever Pork Chops {recipe}



This really is the best pork chop recipe, ever. Denise King of Southlake, Texas won the Cherchies Recipe of the Month Contest with her Best Ever Pork Chops with Parmesan Cheese & Champagne Mustard. It is just dee-lish! Try this recipe with chicken breasts, too!

Best Ever Pork Chops
Ingredients
4 - (3/4 inch) thick pork chops (top loin, lean, boneless)
1 dash black pepper
1/4 cup Cherchies® Champagne Mustard
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp Cherchies® Garlic'n Herbs No Salt Seasoning
1/4 tsp dried basil leaves
1/4 tsp dried oregano leaves
3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions
Preheat oven to 400° F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside. Season the pork chops with pepper.

In a small bowl, whisk together mustard, oil, and remaining spices and brush mixture onto both sides. Press the grated Parmesan cheese into both sides of the chops (I am pretty liberal with the cheese. I like a thick coating but a thin one will work, too.)

Place the chops on the baking sheet. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until coating is browned and the chops are cooked. For a slightly crispier texture, broil for one minute. Serves 4, and they'll be happy!
