Ingredients
4 Four 1/2-inch-thick rib pork chops (about 2 pounds total)
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon thyme leaves
4 sprigs fresh thyme, for garnish
4 slices Canadian bacon (about 2 1/2 ounces)
Directions
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix together the Dijon mustard and thyme leaves until well combined.
Spread the mustard-thyme mixture evenly on both sides of each pork chop, coating them well.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the pork chops and cook for 6-7 minutes on the first side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Flip the pork chops and cook for another 6-7 minutes on the second side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F at the thickest part.
In the same skillet, quickly warm the Canadian bacon slices for about 1-2 minutes per side until heated through.
Transfer the cooked pork chops to a serving platter and top each chop with a slice of warm Canadian bacon.
Garnish each plate with a fresh thyme sprig and serve immediately.
Comments
Pork chops and Canadian bacon are staples at every Charlotte grocer, and Dijon mustard and dried thyme are pantry basics available everywhere from Walmart to Harris Teeter without a second trip. The recipe is genuinely quick—pan-searing chops and layering bacon takes 25 minutes honest, though sauce reduction at the end might push it to 30 with thick chops. This feeds four on one sheet pan with minimal fussiness, and any leftovers reheat well in a low oven. The main drawback is that pork chops can vary wildly in price and quality, and the recipe doesn't specify thickness or weight, so your grocery cost per serving could swing from six dollars to twelve depending on which cut you grab.
