Yesterday afternoon I was trying to figure out what to make for a keto friendly dinner that would not require me standing over the stove. My two year old had just woken up from her nap, I still needed to nurse the baby, and I wasn’t sure what time my husband would be leaving work. So, I knew it would be best if I could put something together that I could sit aside and then throw in the oven once my husband was on his way home from work. Then I remembered my Ground Mustard & Parmesan Pork Chops recipe. With just a couple of tweaks, I could easily make it keto friendly. By adding butter, the parmesan topping kind of fried in the oven. It reminded me of my grandmother’s friend pork chops. I would recommend bone-in pork chops to up the fat content, but I only had boneless on hand. I will definitely be adding this recipe to our regular dinner rotation.

Not a big fan of coconut oil (or coconut in general). Do you think I can just take it out and still taste good?
Feel free to substitute any other kind of oil. 🙂
Are the herbs fresh or dried?
I used dried.
Are you using shredded cheese?
