French Onion Soup Pork Chops - The Midnight Baker

Now, let’s gather our troops! Here’s what you’ll need for this culinary escapade:

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in pork chops
  • 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Slices of Gruyère or Swiss cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional, but fabulous!)

Alright, now that we’ve gathered our ingredients like a well-organized troop, let’s get to the fun part – cooking!

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt, and sauté until they are golden brown and deliciously caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
  2. While the onions are getting that sun-kissed glow, season the pork chops with salt, pepper, and thyme. This part is crucial; we want those chops to be flavor-packed!
  3. Once the onions are done, push them to the side of the skillet and add the pork chops. Sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Because yes, we like them golden and gorgeous.
  4. Deglaze the pan with the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up any delicious bits stuck to the bottom. Don’t waste flavor!
  5. Cover the skillet and let everything simmer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through. The kitchen will smell like a five-star restaurant, and you might even hear a chorus of “Mmm!” from your family.
  6. Finally, right before serving, place the cheese on top of the pork chops, cover again, and let the cheese melt into gooey perfection. Aren’t you just the best chef ever?
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley if you’re feeling fancy, and voilà! Serve hot and enjoy the compliments coming your way.

There you have it – a mouthwatering dish that combines all the savory goodness of French onion soup and juicy pork chops. Perfect for any occasion or just a cozy night in! Happy cooking!
