Ingredients

4 pieces pork chops

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 large onions, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon sugar

1 cup beef broth

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

½ cup breadcrumbs

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This will help cook the pork chops evenly and maintain moisture.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sugar, then sauté until caramelized, about 15 minutes.

Add beef broth, soy sauce, and thyme to the onions, stirring well. Allow the mixture to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.

Place the pork chops in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour the onion mixture over the top, ensuring even coverage.

Combine Swiss cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the pork chops and onions.

Bake the dish in the preheated oven for around 25-30 minutes or until the pork chops are fully cooked.

Allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes before serving to ensure the juices redistribute, providing a moist result.
