Honey Herbed Pork Loin

Anyone out there looking for a fun new recipe for pork chops that doesn't traditionally include apples?!?! Well this is one that you will fall in love with after the first bite! It's perfectly juicy with a sweet buttery glaze that you will can't help but scrape every last bit off the plate because it's THAT good. 

It may look like there is a lot of butter on top of the pork loin but most of it will melt off and you'll be left with a slightly crispy sweet herby (is that even a word) crust on top of your pork loin. 

Herb butter topped evenly on the pork loin .... ready to go whenever the guests arrive. (only takes 15 minutes under the broiler)


Done. Let rest for a few minutes before eating. 

Honey Herbed Pork Loin 

Ingredients:
- 4 (1/2 inch to 1 inch in thickness) pork loin
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
- 1/4 cup of soften butter
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons of honey mustard (I just use 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of honey)

Directions:
1. Mix together soften butter, parsley, and 2 tablespoons of honey mustard in a small bowl until blended. 
2. Line rack with foil. Place pork loin on rack and season with salt and pepper. Top each pork loin with about 1 tablespoon of butter herb mixture.
3. Place rack about 5 inches away from heat. Broil on high for about 12-15 minutes depending on the size of the pork loin. Insert a meat thermometer after 12 minutes in the thickest portion to see if it registers 155°. If not, please cook until the pork loin registers to 155-165. Set on serving platter to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
