Pork Chops with Blue Cheese Sauce image

Sometimes a sauce is just a sauce, but with these tender chops, it really makes the dish. If you like a little spice, mix a pinch of nutmeg with the black pepper before you sprinkle it on the meat. -Kathleen Specht, Clinton, Montana

NANA'S MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BLUE CHEESE PORK CHOPS



Nana's Melt in Your Mouth Blue Cheese Pork Chops image

My Mom,(called Nana by her Grands), made these for us for years. They truly do melt in your mouth . If you are a Blue CHeese fan, these are for you. A fix and forget main dish. I always serve either rice or noodles with it so I don't miss any of the yummy gravy. Also, she used very thick bone in chops, I mostly use the boneless ones, but they really should be thick ones, no matter which type you choose.

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 pork chops, thick cut
1 (10 1/2 ounce) can chicken broth

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED PORK LOIN CHOPS



Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Loin Chops image

This recipe occurred to me because I love blue cheese melted over a thick juicy beefsteak . . . why wouldn't it taste yummy with pork as well ? I have used both Roquefort as well as Gorgonzola, both work equally well. Measurements are estimates, as they will depend on the size of your chops.

Provided by FlemishMinx

Categories     Pork

Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 thick boneless pork chops (also known as mignonettes)
2 -4 tablespoons blue cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, to taste
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup dry white wine

Steps:

  • With a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit in one of the wide sides of each chop but do not cut completely through to any of the other sides.
  • Use the knife, your finger, or the handle portion of a wooden spoon to expand the void in the chop as large as possible.
  • The goal is to make a pocket for the cheese (picture a coin purse, where only the top is open).
  • Use as much of the cheese as is necessary to fill the pocket.
  • Secure with toothpicks in such a way that the chops will still lay levelly in a pan.
  • Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
  • Make several slices through the garlic yet keeping each clove intact.
  • Fry in the oil till brown but not burned, then remove from pan.
  • Season chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Brown the chops in the oil on each side.
  • The cheese will probably begin to melt and leak from the chop, but don't worry about this.
  • When chops are well browned, add the wine (as much as necessary to come about halfway up the sides of the chops) to the saute pan, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until they are cooked through.
  • Remove them from pan directly to dinner plate.
  • Stir the cheese that has leaked out from the chops well into the wine and cooking juices, still over the heat, until you have a well-incorporated sauce.
  • This should only take a moment.
  • Serve sauce over the chops immediately, and enjoy.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED PORK CHOPS



Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops image

These are quite delicious. You need to have chops at least 1 inch in thickness. You can also a use a frenched rack of pork. I have made it with two thin chops toothpicked together but the presentation is not as nice. My family really liked these, and they are quite presentable for company. Also they are fairly simple to make.

PORK CHOPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Pork Chops With Blue Cheese Sauce image

This easy, flavorful recipe comes from the December/January 2010 "Taste of Home" magazine. According to the recipe description, even those who do not like blue cheese will like this mild sauce. DH hates blue cheese, but was willing to give this recipe a try. He liked it. We used a little more butter than the recipe indicated as we found we needed some more to give the roux a good consistency. We also sprinkled our pork chops with salt and pepper, rather than just pepper.
