Upgrade your pork chops with crispy panko bread crumbs and melted cheese, topped with delicious apples for a delightful meal!
Ingredients:
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts, toasted
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese (2 oz)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup Progresso™ panko crispy bread crumbs
  • 3 Gala apples, each cut into 8 wedges
  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 4 bone-in pork loin chops, 1 inch thick (about 2 lb)
  • 2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
  • Fresh sage leaves, if desired
Instructions:
  • Place walnuts in a food processor and pulse until they reach a coarse meal consistency. Then add 1/2 cup of butter, blue cheese, and pepper; pulse until combined. Add bread crumbs and pulse again until combined, scraping down the sides as needed. Divide the mixture into 4 portions, shape each into a disk matching the size of the pork chops. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap or waxed paper and freeze for at least 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Spread apple wedges evenly in a 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes until tender. Toss the baked apples with 1 tablespoon of butter in a large bowl, then cover to keep warm.
  • Grease a 12-inch cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops for 6 to 8 minutes, turning once, until browned. Top each chop with a butter disk and remove from heat. Switch oven to broil. Broil chops in the skillet 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the butter bubbles and turns golden brown. Serve the chops on plates, top with apples, drizzle with balsamic glaze, and garnish with chopped fresh sage leaves.
