If comfort food had a golden glaze, it would be this: tender pork chops seared to perfection and coated in a sticky, tangy-sweet honey mustard sauce. It’s the kind of dish that feels fancy enough for guests but simple enough for a Tuesday night. And once you taste it, you’ll understand why it’s been a go-to in my kitchen for years.
I still remember the first time I made it—rain tapping on the windows, craving something cozy but not too heavy. I had pork chops, but wanted more than just the usual pan-fry. So I whisked together honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and a splash of vinegar, and spooned it over the chops as they sizzled. The result? Juicy, golden pork with a glaze that clung to every bite. My family didn’t just eat—they devoured.
