A flavorful twist on classic Dijon pork chops, featuring a crispy herb crust for added texture and taste.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Spread Dijon mustard evenly over both sides of the pork chops.
Use a brush or the back of a spoon for an even coating.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, black pepper, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed.
Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the mustard-coated pork chops, ensuring an even layer on all sides.
Gently press the mixture to help it adhere better to the mustard.
Place the pork chops in a greased baking dish and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without overcooking.
Let the pork chops rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat tender.
