Pork chops baked in the oven with cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   To prepare the chops, prepare the necessary ingredients. Pork can be taken from ham or carb. The main thing is that it is convenient to cut into portioned pieces for beating. I will use pork butt. Choose meat that has not been frozen, otherwise, after defrosting, all the juices will leave it and the chops will turn out dry.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the pork into portioned slices, 1.5-2 centimeters thick.

3. STEP 3

   

   To beat, place a piece of meat on a board and cover with cling film. Use a meat mallet to pound the meat directly onto the film. The film will prevent the meat juice from splashing and the edges of the piece will not tear when beating. In this way, beat off all the pieces.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare a baking tray. Cover it with cooking paper. Place the chopped meat on a baking sheet. Sprinkle all pieces with a little salt and spices to taste. You can use ground black pepper as a spice. You can also use something more aromatic, such as rosemary or basil.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the tomatoes and cut them in half. Remove the tail. Then cut each half into slices.

6. STEP 6

   

   Grate the hard cheese on a fine or medium grater. Place chopped tomatoes on each piece of chop and sprinkle generously with grated cheese.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the baking sheet in the oven, preheated to 190 degrees, for 40 minutes. The finished dish will turn golden and the cheese will melt. The meat will actively release juice and will smell very fragrant when roasted. Be guided by the degree of cooking according to your oven: that is, the cooking time may take more/less than 40 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   Remove the finished chops from the oven, place on plates and serve. They are great as independent people. But, if desired, they can be supplemented with any side dish or fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!

There was about 500 grams of pork carbonate available. The piece of meat is small, but I wanted to cook a delicious dinner that would be large and satisfying. This recipe helped me. I cut the carbonate into portions. Each piece was placed in a plastic bag and beaten with a kitchen hammer. The meat has become more tender. Then I added salt. I added fresh tomato to the chops and brushed them with mayonnaise. I sprinkled dill on top, because... I love him very much. I didn't add any spices, I just finely chopped the garlic. I prepared a “coat” of cheese on a fine grater. Pork chops in a heat-resistant bowl, covered with foil on top so that everything was stewed in its own juices first. Using a knife, I made several holes to allow excess steam to escape. Before cooking, I opened the foil to form a golden crust on the chops. Pork chops baked in the oven with cheese turned out juicy due to small layers of fat and fresh tomatoes. Fragrant, appetizing, tender and 1000 more compliments. Thanks to the author for such a delicious recipe!
