Almond Pork Chops with Honey Mustard

These are the most awesome pork chops I have ever eaten!  I don’t fix pork chops very often because I always think they are dry.  But not these.  They are so tender and juicy, we just devoured them.  And the honey mustard was just delicious with them.

This is also a very quick meal to prepare.  25 minutes from start to finish.  I used large porterhouse pork chops instead of the boneless pork loin, but that’s what I had in my freezer so that’s what I used.  I also made corn bread to go along side of them.  Awesome Sweet Cornbread which is also to die for.

If you don’t like pork chops, this will make you a lover of them.  You must try them!  Delicious!

• 1/2 cup smoked almonds
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 4 boneless pork loin chops (1 in. thick and 6-oz. each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

In a food processor, process the almonds until finely chopped.  Transfer to a shallow bowl; add bread crumbs.  In another bowl, beat the eggs.  In a large resealable plastic bag, combine flour, salt and pepper.  Add pork chops, one at a time, and shake to coat.  Dip in eggs, then coat with almond mixture.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the cops in oil and butter for 5 minutes on each side or until a thermometer reads 160 degrees.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, honey and mustard.  Serve with the pork chops.
