These herb-crusted mustard pork chops pack mouthwatering savory flavor. Plus, they’re ready in just 20 minutes – perfect for busy weeknights.

Pork chops are one of the most underrated and delicious sources of protein. With a mild flavor, they beg to be coated in marinades, herbs and rich sauces. When pan-seared, pork chops lock in flavor and create a delectable browning that intensifies both the meat and herb coating.

Instead of using a traditional crust of chopped nuts, a light dusting of nutritional yeast adds a cheese-like umami taste. Nutritional yeast is best sprinkled in savory recipes to enhance flavor, thicken sauces and add texture.

No need for egg wash; Dijon mustard is brushed on each side of the chops to help the herbs stick and brings a mouthwatering spicy, tangy flavor. Next, dried dill and thyme are rubbed on top of the mustard pork chops to add depth of flavor.

Start by combining dry seasonings in a small bowl. Place pork chops onto a plate and brush on all sides with Dijon mustard. Sprinkle liberally with seasonings and use hands to gently press into chops. Melt a couple teaspoons of ghee on a pan over medium heat, allowing the pan to get glistening hot. Carefully place chops onto pan and sear 8 minutes. Flip chops and cook an additional 8 minutes. Tip: To really drive home the Dijon flavor with a touch of sweetness, finish these mustard pork chops with a few spoonfuls of Dijon mustard mixed with a little raw honey.
