   Meanwhile: pour water in the skillet and with a spatula or silicone spoon deglaze the skillet – remove any pieces that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in ½ cup of whipping cream. Stir for a minute before adding mustard in. Stir until the sauce has thickened. Taste it.
6. 6
   Add the rest of the cream (if you find the sauce too thin or too strong).

   Serve the sauce separately or put the pork chops back in the skillet and serve as is.
