Ingredients

  • 4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
  • 4 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey, minced garlic, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to create the glaze.
  3. Place the pork chops in the prepared baking dish and brush each chop generously with the honey mustard glaze, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C), basting the chops with the glaze halfway through the cooking time.
  5. If desired, broil the chops for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end to caramelize the glaze and create a golden finish.
  6. Remove from the oven, let the pork chops rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
