Fontina Pork Chops image

Did a restaurant dish ever inspire? Well, Bonefish Grill inspired The Gourmand Mom (blog) to recreate their fontina pork chop dish. Note: Bonefish's recipe is not breaded, but I believe this recipe is adaptable by simply browning the chops without the breading and continuing on.

Time 1h5m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 boneless pork chops, 1 inch thick (bone-in is fine)
1 egg, lightly beaten
3/4 cup dry Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 -3 tablespoons olive oil (or 1/2 olive oil 1/2 butter)
salt and pepper
1/2 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 -4 slices prosciutto, chopped
2 cups baby bella mushrooms, sliced (can sub brown or white mushrooms for convenience)
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
3/4 cup marsala wine
1 (15 ounce) can chicken broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the pork chops: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Trim any excess fat from the chops. Season with salt and pepper. Dip the chops into the beaten egg, then into the bread crumbs until thoroughly coated. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes so the crumb mixture adheres properly. Heat the olive oil in an oven-proof pan (I used a 12" cast iron). Place the breaded chops in the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Note: If not breading, brown the chops on both sides (stove top) then continue to the next step.
  • Place the pan in the oven and cook until the pork chops are fully cooked. Time will vary depending on the thickness of the chops, about 12-15 minutes in the oven.
  • For the sauce: Prepare the sauce while the chops are cooking. Heat olive oil in a pan. Add the mushrooms and prosciutto. Cook for 8-9 minutes, until the mushrooms are tender and lightly browned.
  • Add the garlic. Cook for another minute or two. Then removed the cooked mushrooms, prosciutto, and garlic and set aside. Add the marsala to the hot pan. Bring to a simmer and cook until the liquid has reduced to about 1/4 cup. Add the chicken broth. Return to a simmer and cook until a little more than 1 cup of liquid remains.
  • Place the cornstarch in a small bowl. Spoon a few tablespoons of the hot liquid into the cornstarch and stir until combined. (Dissolving the cornstarch in a small amount of liquid before adding to the sauce will help to prevent lumps from forming.) Then, add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and simmer for another minute or two to thicken. Return the mushroom mixture to the pan and simmer for a minute to reheat.
  • To serve: Upon removing the pork chops from the oven, sprinkle over the fontina cheese. Allow the pork chops to rest and the cheese to melt for a couple minutes. Then spoon the sauce over the chops and serve.

This recipe is a great way to dress up pork chops. The Fontina cheese and breadcrumb topping adds a lot of flavor and makes the pork chops more moist. I also liked that this recipe is relatively quick and easy to make. I will definitely be making thi

I followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops came out perfectly. They were cooked through but still juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. The breadcrumb topping added a nice crunch. I served the pork chops with roasted vegetables and mashed

This recipe was a hit with my family! The pork chops were juicy and flavorful, and the Fontina cheese added a creamy, gooey touch. The best part was the crispy breadcrumb topping, which added a nice crunch. Will definitely be making this again!
