Ingredients
- 5 ounce pork chops, center loin, fresh, visible fat eaten
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon mustard powder
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 slice – 6" long bacon
- 2 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, ground
- 1 teaspoon, whole pieces dill weed, fresh
- 3 tablespoon, shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Lay 2 thin sliced center cut pork chops on a flat surface and season with the pepper, paprika, mustard powder, and garlic powder.
- Wrap 2 slices of bacon around each pork chop, tucking the loose ends under the chops or under and overlapping piece of bacon.
- Heat the olive oil in a wide pan over medium high heat. Lay the pork chops in the oil and cook for approx. 5 minutes on both sides. Simply cook until the outer bacon has crispy golden brown edges.
- When the pork chops are done, make the Polish gravy. Melt the butter in a small pan and toast the onion powder in it over low heat for about 30 seconds.
- Whisk the cream into the butter with the remaining seasonings. Bring to a simmer.
- Reduce the heat of the cream so it’s just lightly bubbling, not simmering. Whisk the cheese into the cream until melted to complete the gravy.
- For each serving, ladle about 2 TB of gravy on a plate and set a pork chop in the center. Drizzle a small amount of gravy over the pork chop. Garnish with additional dill or parsley.
