Honey Mustard Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops with Honey Mustard Sauce
Prep Time:10 minutes
Cook Time:15 minutes
Total Time:25 minutes

Ingredients

Pork Chops:

  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 3 cups honey mustard pretzels such as Dots® Honey Mustard pretzels
  • 4 center-cut bone-in pork chops
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper divided

Honey Mustard Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard optional
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet and set it aside.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and hot sauce. Crush the pretzels using a food processor or by sealing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin, then transfer the crumbs to a separate shallow dish.
  • Season the pork chops evenly with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Dip each pork chop into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat generously with the pretzel crumbs, pressing them to adhere.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops in batches, cooking each for about 2 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
  • While the pork chops bake, mix together the mustard, mayonnaise, honey, vinegar, and remaining salt and pepper in a small bowl. Warm the sauce in the microwave for 15 seconds, give it a stir, and serve alongside the pork chops for dipping.
