Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Season 4 pork chops, with salt and pepper, then set aside. Cut the 2 yellow onions in half and slice them about ¼ inch thick to create half circles.
  • In a large cast iron or oven-safe skillet, melt ½ cup butter over medium heat. Add the onions to the pan and saute them, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and caramelized, about 20-30 minutes.
  • Once the onions have caramelized remove them from the pan, add the pork chops to the pan and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side.
  • Remove the pork chops from the pan and add the onions back in. Whisk in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to create a thick paste. Slowly pour in 1 cup beef broth, whisking continually to avoid lumps developing. Remove from heat.
  • Whisk in 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, 2 cloves garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Add the pork chops back to the pan and coat in the sauce. Cover each pork chop with one slice of the 4 slices Swiss cheese and one slice of the 4 slices gruyere cheese.
  • Place the skillet into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted nicely.
  • Remove the pan from the oven. Serve the pork chops with the onions and sauce over the top and sprinkled with additional thyme.

Notes

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
 
Caramelizing onions takes quite a bit of time, just remember to be patient and keep stirring it consistently. 
 
You can just use one type of cheese if you prefer.
