Ingredients
- 2 pounds pork chops bone-in adds extra flavor
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 5 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon freshly chopped rosemary
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. Season the pork chops with salt and pepper and place them in the dish.
- In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, chopped rosemary, and melted butter. Stir until smooth.
- Pour half of the sauce over the pork chops and spread evenly. Flip the chops and coat the other side with the remaining sauce.
- Bake the pork chops for 30 minutes. Check for doneness with a meat thermometer, aiming for an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). If needed, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes, then drizzle any remaining sauce from the baking dish over the top before serving.
Notes
For an extra flavor boost, try adding a splash of apple cider vinegar to the sauce. Serve with roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
