Instructions
-
Prepare the Yogurt Mixture:
In a small bowl, season the yogurt with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the yogurt. -
-
Coat the Pork Chops:
Dip each pork chop into the seasoned yogurt mixture, ensuring it is coated evenly on all sides. This will help the breadcrumbs stick better and give the pork a deliciously creamy flavor. -
Bread the Chops:
Next, dip the yogurt-coated pork chops into the bread crumbs, pressing down gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well. Coat each chop completely in breadcrumbs for a crispy exterior. -
Cook the Pork Chops:
Heat a pan over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Fry the breaded pork chops in the pan, cooking each side until golden brown. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy. -
Top with Ham and Cheese:
Once the pork chops are golden brown, place one slice of ham and one slice of Swiss cheese on each chop. Place them back in the oven (or on low heat in the pan) until the cheese has melted and is bubbly. -
Serve:
Serve your Quick Pork Cordon Bleu immediately, garnished with a fresh side of vegetables or a simple salad. This recipe makes 4 servings.
Enjoy your flavorful, quick, and easy-to-make pork cordon bleu. Perfect for a fast lunch, satisfying dinner, or a protein-packed snack!
Tips:
- For a lower-fat version, use a reduced-fat yogurt and a lighter breadcrumb coating.
- You can easily adjust the recipe to suit your dietary preferences by swapping out the Swiss cheese for another type of cheese.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of meat like chicken or turkey for a variation on the classic Cordon Bleu.
