minutesIngredients
4 pieces pork chops
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup beef broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help cook the pork chops evenly and maintain moisture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sugar, then sauté until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- Add beef broth, soy sauce, and thyme to the onions, stirring well. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- Place the pork chops in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the onion mixture over the top, ensuring even coverage.
- Combine Swiss cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pork chops and onions.
- Bake the dish in the preheated oven for around 25-30 minutes or until the pork chops are fully cooked.
- Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the juices redistribute, providing a moist result.
