Recipe: Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

This recipe has become one of our all-time favorites for dinner!  We make it regularly, and it's easy to swap out the protein with a different type of meat, or to tweak other ingredients and make an entirely new dish!  Also key for us: the leftovers taste just as good, if not better!  We ALWAYS plan one night a week for left overs to clean out the fridge, and there is usually a battle over who gets this dish!

Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops

•3/4 c parmesan cheese

•1/4 tsp basil leaves

•1/4 tsp garlic powder

•1/4 tsp dried orgeno

•1 dash black pepper

•1/4 tsp thyme leaves

- Season the 4 pork chops with pepper, then brush both sides of the chops with the mustard mixture.

- Press the grated cheese into both sides of the chops.

- Place the chops on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. The coating should be browned and slightly crispy and the pork should be cooked through.
