Ingredients
-
4 bone-in pork chops (about 8 ounces each)
-
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
-
1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
-
6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
-
1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1½ teaspoons fresh rosemary, chopped
-
½ cup dry white wine
-
1½ cups heavy cream
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-
½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Season pork chops with 1½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Let rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.
-
In a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, cook bacon until crisp. Remove bacon and reserve 2 tablespoons of drippings in the pan.
-
Sear pork chops in the skillet, cooking about 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
-
Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Pour in white wine and simmer until reduced by half. Stir in cream, Dijon mustard, remaining salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer.
-
Whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Return pork chops to the skillet and simmer until cooked through and the sauce thickens, about 10 minutes.
-
Stir bacon back into the sauce and serve immediately.
Notes
-
Bone-in pork chops stay juicier than boneless.
-
If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of cream or broth.
-
Serve with mashed potatoes, green beans, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
