Ingredients
- 1 loin pork chops (thick)
- 300 gr gruyere cheese
- 120 ml cream (heavy)
- 34 gr butter (unsalted)
- 10 ml dijon mustard
- 9 gr calvados brandy
- 1 gr salt
- 1 gr pepper (ground)
- 1 gr parsley (chopped fresh)
Saute' 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 Tbl. of heavy cream; spread mixture evenly over pork chops. Broil 5-6 inch 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 Calados 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.
