Breakfast Pork?


Well, I hate to do this to you yet again Abigail, but I just have to raise the bar a bit higher. Today's meal is a delicious maple syrup glazed pork accompanied by maple-bacon brussel sprouts. Every little kid's dream! Its a pretty easy meal and the maple syrup sauce is amazing :)

Ingredients:
Pork chops
Maple syrup
Dijon mustard
Minced garlic
Salt and Pepper
Ginger
Brussel sprouts
Bacon
Olive oil

Directions:

Pork



1. Season both sides of the pork with salt and pepper


2. In a pan, heat up olive oil at medium-high temperature


3. Cook both sides of the pork for a few minutes until lightly browned
4. In another pan begin heating the sauce (1 cup syrup, 3 cloves minced garlic, 3 tablespoons dijon mustard, 2 teaspoons ginger)


5. When pork is lightly browned and sauce is simmering, combine the sauce and pork into one pan and cook covered for 5 minutes


6. Uncover and cook until done :)

Brussel Sprouts


1. I would suggest cooking your bacon bits first and add some maple syrup to add a sweet taste to the bacon.


2. When the bacon is cooked take it out of the pan and replace with the brussel sprouts, using the bacon grease.



3. When the sprouts are almost cooked you can add the bacon back in for flavor.

The maple syrup and dijon mustard sauce is awesome so give it a try :)
