Dijon Mustard Pork Chops
Ingredients
6 1 inch thick loin pork chops well trimmed
1/4 C. unsalted butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground pepper
2 1/2 C. gruyere cheese, finely grated
2 Tbsp. dijon mustard
1/2 C. heavy cream, divided
1/4 C. plus 2 Tbsp. calvados brandy or any apple flavored brandy
2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Cooking Instructions
Sauté pork chops until browned in melted butter in an oven proof skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper; cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Combine cheese, Dijon mustard and 4 Tbls. of heavy cream; spread mixture evenly over pork chops. Broil 5-6 inches from heat, remove from oven immediately when cheese is lightly browned. Remove pork chops from skillet to a serving platter (keep warm), reserving all drippings in skillet. Add Calvados brandy to dripping in skillet; cook over fairly high heat, deglazing skillet by scraping particles that cling to the bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining heavy cream and continue cooking, while stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Pour sauce over pork chops and sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
