Course Main Course

Ingredients

  • 4  thick-cut pork chops
  • sea salt & black pepper to taste
  • 4 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp sherry vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated cheese - Swiss, Guyere, Mozzarella, or Provolone

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

  2. Season chops on all sides with salt & pepper.

  3. Heat 2 tbsp butter in skillet. Brown chops 3-4 minutes on each side flipping once. Transfer to plate.

  4. Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter to same skillet, on medium heat, with any fat from the chops. Add onion slices. Season with salt & pepper. Cook until softened and deep golden, 10-15 minutes. Stir often to keep from burning. Stir in garlic when the onions are mostly done to keep them from burning and becoming bitter.

  5. Stir in sherry & thyme to skillet.

  6. Add the broth, stirring to pick up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  7. Combine the chops and onion mixture in a baking dish. Top the chops evenly with the cheese.

  8. Bake in oven on top rack until chops are cooked through and cheese is melted, about 8-10 minutes. Then switch over to broil and cook until cheese is browned in spots - about 1-2 minutes.
