Servings: 4 servings
- 4 pork chops pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
- 2 cups small pretzels
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- Oil for frying
Crush the pretzels. In a food processor or blender, crush the pretzels into fine crumbs – place them in a shallow dish or bowl.
Bread the pork chops. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the mustard. Place the flour in a third shallow bowl. Coat each pork chop with flour, dip in the mustard-egg mixture and then into the pretzel crumbs.
Fry the pork chops. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Fry the pork chops in the oil – adding more if necessary – for about 1-2 minutes per side, depending on thickness
