Honey Mustard Pork Chops

Once again I was fortunate enough to participate in the Tastemaker's program over at Foodbuzz. We received some products from Emeril's collection and were asked to be creative.

Today I will focus on the mustard and Emeril's Essence.

One of the products we received was Emeril's Kicked-Up Horseradish Mustard. Did you know I love horseradish and spicy mustard? Well put them together and guess what? It's nirvana!!! So I had to think of something to prepare using this delectable treat that A.J. and the homegirlz would enjoy. The homegirlz don't share my affinity for horseradish.

The mustard is not overpowering and does not contain the grit that a lot of grainey mustards on the market contain. This was a win-win!

Many of you that have read my blog for any amount of time know I use Emeril's Essence in my cooking. Usually, I mix my own Essence, this is the first time I have used the bottled Essence. the bottled Essence smelled and tasted just a tad more garlicky than mine, but my philosophy is you can never have too much garlic.

Honey Mustard Pork Chops -

Heat a 2 tablespoons of canola oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.

Generously season bone-in loin chops on both sides with Emeril's Essence. Massage the seasoning into the meat and set aside.


In a shallow pan (I used a pie pan), mix together 1/2 cup of Emeril's Kicked-Up Horseradish Mustard and 1/2 cup of clover honey.

Whisk the mustard and honey together and set aside.

Dip each seasoned pork chop into the mustard and honey mixtures and thoroughly coat both sides.

Dredge each pork chop in seasoned Italian bread crumbs. After dredging, pat the bread crumbs onto the chops.

Place the chops into the heated skillet and cook until the chops are golden brown and cooked through.

Place cooked chops onto a baking sheet and place in preheated oven to keep warm until the rest of your meal is ready.

Both A.J. and the homegirlz gave me their official seal of approval and between you and me...I know A.J. got up in the middle of the night and ate one cold.
