Pork Chop Sandwich with Apple Brussel Slaw and Spicy Honey Mustard

pork cutlet and brussel sprout sandwich

This sandwich was a combination of a bunch of things we have eaten recently that I was inspired to pull together into one delicious dish. Georgina and I have been making this apple and brussel sprout slaw from The Kitchn on repeat the past month, and I thought a simplified version would be great on a sandwich. She also has been getting these bread boxes from Wildgrain, and when I saw the cranberry pecan bread in there, I knew that was going to be the bread for this sandwich. I thought honey mustard would be a great sauce, but I spiked it with some siracha to add a little heat.

Just a simple apple and brussel sprout mixture with lots of oil and lemon.

This whole recipe was inspired by this great cranberry pecan bread Georgina got us from Wildgrain.

I pounded out the pork chops, breaded them, and then pan fried them.

The sauce was just a simple spicy honey mustard. This sandwich was incredible! A little heat, those great fall flavors, and a nice crunch!

The cranberry in the bread went especially well with the mustard and honey in the sauce.

  • Put the flour in one bowl, the eggs in another, and the breadcrumbs in a third. Beat the eggs until smooth.
  • Season the pork with salt and pepper, and one by one, dredge with the flour first, then the eggs, then the breadcrumbs, to fully coat.
