Mustard-Herb Crusted Pork Chops

So...Husband gets bored if I make "variations" of the same thing. After turning out a dreadful version of that lovely pizza crust (too many distractions!) I pulled out some frozen pork chops.

I used a few tablespoons of a Dijon-style mustard with a spoon. Then grabbed some bread crumbs - not the small itty bitty type, the pea sized ones you'd use for stuffing - and sprinkled them on top. Mind you, these bread crumbs are from epic fails at bread making while don't taste awful the crusts are hard. I finished the recipe by sprinkling as many types of herbs as I could find, oregano, parsley, chilli pepper, sage, marjoram, onion powder, garlic, crushed black pepper and other colored pepper. I'm the kind of cook that sprinkles just about anything on top and hopes it comes out tasting good.

I'm not one to use salt in cooking (a long standing habit) but I did use about 1/8 c of soy sauce and up to 1 cup of water so that the water was just about to the tops of the pork chops and kind of gave it a poached look.

Put them in my oven at 375 degrees for 35 minutes... and the topping tasted very much like stuffing. Put a side of wild rice which went nicely.
