Ingredients
- 4 pork chops, 1 inch thick
- ½ cup butter
- 2 yellow onions
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon fresh Rosemary
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 4 slices gruyere cheese
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.
