A quick and moist way to have your favorite thick chops.

Ingredients

Equipment

Directions

Step 1

Heat the oven to broil. Wipe the mushrooms clean and cut in halves- put aside. Slice the tomatoes, one per chop.

Step 2

Rinse the chops and shake off excess water. Season with pepper, ginger, garlic powder and salt.

Step 3

Heat the skillet over high heat. When hot place the chops in the pan, sear over high heat on both sides for about 2 minutes per side, then reduce heat to medium for another 2-3 minutes per side. (We were a bit nervous about this part, but the chops will brown nicely and stay juicy- so fear not!)

Step 4

Place the chops on the foil covered pan. Lay a tomato on each chop, cover with cheese, then return to the oven.

Step 5

Immediately add the vinegar to the pork chop pan, stir, then add mushrooms and salt and stir again. Reduce heat to medium low.

Step 6

After about 1 minute, the juices will come out of the mushrooms. Give them a good stir to coat with the tasty pork chop bits, cook 1 more minute (about 3 minutes total), then turn off the heat.

Step 7

While cooking the mushrooms, keep an eye on the oven. When the cheese is bubbly brown the chops are done. Remove the pan from the oven and, using a spatula, reach under each chop and carefully place on a dinner plate with mushrooms.
