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
  • 1/4 Cup Dry red or white wine
  • 1/2 Cup Beef or Chicken Stock
  • 4 Ounces Shredded Swiss or Gruyere Cheese Gruyere preferred

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.
