My wife like anything "parmesan." This recipe was inspired by the shrimp parmesan recipe in the Atkins/Gare cookbook and a desire to have something "different" for dinner. Note that there is no salt added to this recipe. Normally, the cheeses add plenty of salt. If you really want more salt, try adding a little "lite" salt to the chops before searing. This recipe is not appropriate for Atkins induction or for those for whom tomatoes are a "trigger" food.
2-4 large Boneless pork chops (1" thick is best) 1 cup Fresh or quick tomato sauce 1/3 lb Whole milk mozzarella cheese, shredded 4 tbl Fresh grated parmesan (or to taste) Olive (or other cooking) oil Preheat oven to 350F. Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat and sear chops on both sides. Place chops in a baking dish, cover evenly with sauce then parmesan cheese then mozzarella. Cook about 30 minutes or until the chops are cooked through and the cheese is lightly browned. Serves 2.
