Panko covers many foods with that crunch we all know and love, but the coating of crunch on pork chop is something special. There's something about the flavor of pork that just goes so well with that texture. But that's not the only natural fit here; a creamy cheese sauce with mustard is a fabulous accompaniment. Panko, pub cheese, and pork? Perfect.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using filets mignon, follow same instructions as pork chops in Steps 2 and 4, cooking until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes.

  • If using chicken breasts, follow same instructions as pork chops in Steps 2 and 4, cooking until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using sirloin steaks, follow same instructions as pork chops in Steps 2 and 4, cooking until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  1. 1

    Roast the Brussels Sprouts

    Trim stems off Brussels sprouts and halve vertically (quarter if larger than a ping-pong ball).

    Place Brussels sprouts on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil and 1/4 tsp. salt.

    Spread into a single layer, cut-side down. Roast in hot oven, 10 minutes.

    Brussels sprouts will finish cooking in a later step.

    While Brussels sprouts roast, prepare ingredients.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Peel apple, quarter, and remove core. Cut into 1/2" dice.

    Pat pork chops dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

    Place panko on a plate. Transfer pork to plate with panko, coating one side completely. Press gently to adhere.

  3. 3

    Bake the Apples and Brussels Sprouts

    After 10 minutes, carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Gently stir in apple and a pinch of salt until combined. Sheet will be hot! Use a utensil.

    Bake again in hot oven until Brussels sprouts are browned and apples are fork-tender, 15-20 minutes.

    While apples and Brussels sprouts bake, cook pork.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pork Chops

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add pork chops, panko-side down, to hot pan. Cook until golden-brown and pork reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner and transfer to a plate. Season with a pinch of salt. Rest, 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Make Sauce and Finish Dish

    Place a small pot over medium heat. Add cream cheese, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/3 cup water. Bring to a simmer, stirring vigorously until cream cheese is melted.

    Once simmering, add shredded cheese. Stir constantly until slightly thickened and cheese is melted, 30-60 seconds.

    Remove from burner and stir in mustard.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping pork with sauce. Bon appétit!
