Ingredients

• 4 pieces (bone-in or boneless, about 1-inch thick) pork chops
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 minced garlic cloves
• 4 cups (lightly packed) baby spinach
• 1 cup (crumbled) feta cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon (optional, for heat) red chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Rub both sides of the chops with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then season evenly with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix together Dijon mustard, honey, and minced garlic to make the glaze. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. When the oil is shimmering, place the pork chops in the skillet. Sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Step 4

Lower the heat to medium, brush the mustard glaze generously onto each side of the pork chops, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes on each side until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside to rest, tented with foil.

Step 5

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once melted, stir in the spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Add the crumbled feta cheese, red chili flakes (if using), and lemon juice to the spinach. Stir to combine and cook for another 1-2 minutes until warmed through.

Step 7

To serve, place the glazed pork chops on each plate and top generously with the warm spinach and feta mixture. Optionally, drizzle any extra pan juices over the dish for added flavor.

Step 8

Enjoy your Glazed Mustard Pork Chops Topped with Spinach Feta!
