  • “Did just one up for DH for supper, he loved it!Rather than fry it I did it in the oven on a rack, turned out lovely and crisp.I did use a whole egg,He loved the honey mustard flavour and would like to have it again, thanks for posting.”

  • “This was a big hit with everyone in the family.I had bought thin-cut pork loin chops (boneless) at the store, so I did not bother to pound them.I had about 1.5lbs, so I doubled everything in the recipe.The amounts were a bit off – I had extra honey/mustard mixture and egg substitute, but ran out of breadcrumbs.I used panko breadcrumbs because I had them on hand.When i cooked the pork for the first 4 min, it was still very pink – I think next time I would use a little oil vs. the spray, and let the pan heat up more than 30 seconds.I ended up turning them and cooking for an additional 2 minutes to make sure they were cooked, and the crust stuck to the pan a bit.”
