Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless pork chops, (6 chops)
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard, or your favorite kind
- 2 cups pecans
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Spread a spoonful of mustard on one side of each pork chop, set aside.
- Pour the pecans into a food processor and pulse until you have a good crumb consistency. Set pecans aside in a shallow bowl.
- In another shallow bowl beat the eggs.
- Dip each pork chop in the egg, then the pecan mixture. Press the pecans into the pork chops lightly to ensure a good solid crust.
- Place your breaded pork chops in the freezer for 10 minutes, This helps to really seal the crust so the pecans stay on better.
- Preheat a skillet to medium heat with the olive oil.
- Cook two pork chops at a time in the skillet, 1-2 minutes on each side. You are just looking for good color here, they will finish baking in the oven.
- Place the pan-seared pork chops on a baking sheet and cook 15 to 20 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees F.
Notes
The pecans brown quite quickly, keep an eye on them as they cook in the skillet.
