Savory Fontina Pork Chop: A Bonefish Grill Inspired Recipe for Pork Lovers

Well, lemme tell ya, if you’re lookin’ for a real treat, somethin’ that’ll make your taste buds jump for joy, you gotta try this Fontina Pork Chop. It ain’t like any other pork chop you’ve had before, I promise ya that. Now, this ain’t no fancy chef talk, just plain ol’ home-style cookin’, but with a lil’ twist. You start with a good, thick pork chop. Some folks like it with the bone in, others don’t care for the bone and go for boneless. Either way, it’s gonna taste good, trust me.

Now, the real magic happens when you add that Fontina cheese on top. If you ain’t never heard of Fontina, well, it’s a kinda cheese that melts just right and gives that rich, creamy taste. Don’t go thinkin’ it’s all just cheese, though! You gotta have the garlic in there, too. That garlic smell fillin’ up the kitchen, it’ll have everyone come runnin’ to the table. Then, you throw in a little bacon, and who don’t love bacon? It adds that smoky flavor that’ll have you thinkin’ you’re at a fancy restaurant, but you’re actually sittin’ at home, just like I am.

And we ain’t stoppin’ there. You gotta make sure you’ve got a good sauce, right? Now, this one here uses a Marsala wine sauce, and don’t be worryin’ about the wine part, it cooks down real nice and gives a kinda sweet, savory flavor that’ll have you goin’ back for more. And let me tell ya, that sauce? It makes everything come together like a big ol’ hug on your plate.

If you wanna make this at home, here’s what you’ll need:

• 4 pork chops (bone-in or boneless, whichever you like)
• 1 egg
• Fontina cheese (get yourself a good hunk of it)
• Some garlic (the more, the better)
• Bacon (just a few strips, we ain’t makin’ a bacon feast)
• Some Marsala wine (don’t be shy, but not too much)

First thing you do is season up your pork chops however you like—salt, pepper, maybe a bit of paprika. Then, you give them a good sear in a hot pan with some oil. Don’t rush this part, you want that nice, golden-brown crust on each side. After that, you take ’em outta the pan and set ’em aside for a minute.

Now, in the same pan, throw in a bit of garlic and bacon. Let that cook up until the bacon’s nice and crispy and the garlic starts smellin’ like heaven. Once that’s ready, pour in a bit of the Marsala wine, and let it simmer down so it thickens up. Then, add your Fontina cheese on top of the pork chops. Put the chops back in the pan, and cover ‘em with that cheesy, garlicky goodness. Let it all melt together, and you’ll have yourself a meal that’ll make your stomach sing!

Now, I know it sounds like a lot of steps, but it’s really simple. Just a few ingredients, and before ya know it, you’ve got yourself a meal that’ll make anyone think you’re a five-star chef. You can serve this up with mashed potatoes or some steamed veggies, or maybe even a nice salad if you’re feelin’ fancy.

If you’re countin’ calories or watchin’ what you eat, don’t worry, this pork chop ain’t as bad as you might think. A single serving of this Fontina Pork Chop comes in at about 820 calories.
