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.
