Servings 4 People
Ingredients
- 4 Pork Chops Boneless
- 3 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil Divided
- 4-5 Large Sweet Onions Sliced
- 7-8 Sprigs Fresh Thyme + Extra for garnish
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- 1 tsp Salt + Additional to season chops
- 1/2 tsp Pepper + Additional to season chops

Instructions
- Brush the Dijon Mustard evenly on both sides of the pork chops
- Season each chop, on both sides, with salt and pepper
- Add 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil to a large skillet over medium/high heat and brown the chops on both sides, (Approximately 2-3 minutes per side)
- Removed the browned chops to a plate and keep warm
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil, the Butter, and the sliced onions, stirring well to coat the onions in the oil. Add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Cook the Onions, stirring only occasionally, until they're golden brown and caramelized. This should take at least 15 minutes over medium/high heat.
- Add the Wine, Stock, and Fresh Thyme to the Onions, making sure to scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Cook an additional 2-3 minutes after addition of the wine and stock, stirring frequently.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the Chops back into the skillet along with the Onions.
- Cover the skillet and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until the Chops are no longer pink in the center.
- Remove the cover and add the Shredded Cheese to the top of each chop.
- Return the cover to the skillet. Turn off the heat, and allow the Cheese to melt.
- Garnish the top of each Chop with a sprig or two of Fresh Thyme.
- Serve the Chops on a bed of caramelized onions, making sure to remove the older thyme sprigs before serving.
