It's time for March's Secret Recipe Club! I was excited for my assignment this month - Hezzi-D's Books and Cooks! Heather Lynne is a teacher by day, but an award-winning chef by night. She's originally from PA, but from the Western part of state - much different than the Eastern side where I live.
I had a hard time narrowing now my choice for this month but settled on a recipe for pretzel crusted pork chops. I had just bought a big pack of them from BJ's and was having my mom over for dinner, so it was perfect timing. I skipped the cheddar cheese that Heather Lynne used but I don't think they needed it. I made these the weekend I received my assignment and I've already made them again. They were perfect and we loved the pretzel crust and how moist the pork chops are. I've been known to overcook pork chops so they're dry...whoops.
4 thin cut pork chops
4 Tbsp butter, melted
1 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
5 oz pretzels, finely crushed
1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a small dish, mix the melted butter and mustard. In another dish, place the crusted pretzels and mix in the pepper. Dip each pork chop in the mustard-butter mixture and then dredge in the pretzels.
Line each crusted chop on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping half way through baking.
Remove from oven and let rest before slicing.

Coming over from the SRC, one of the main reasons I dislike porkchops.... over cooking them. Love that these are nice and moist. Great choice!!!!
I love this idea but my daughter won't eat anything with pretzels. I wonder if she would be able to tell.
These sounds excellent. Definitely will need to try this one out.
I have never thought to crust anything with preztels great src post. looks great.
That is genius, using pretzels for the crumbs. I bet, it was delicious.

Pretzels and mustard sound like a great pairing with pork chops.

I never would have thought of coating pork chops with pretzels...I bet it makes the perfect salty crunch. Nice job!

Pretzels are such a fun way to add a bit of salty crunch, and these look great! :)
