Ingredients

• 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
• 8 leaves Fresh sage leaves
• 4 slices Prosciutto
• 120 grams Fontina cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 60 milliliters Dry white wine
• 60 milliliters Chicken stock
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the pork chops with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Place 2 sage leaves on each pork chop, then carefully wrap each chop with 1 slice of prosciutto, ensuring that the sage leaves are secured underneath the prosciutto. Set aside.

Step 3

Slice the fontina cheese into thin strips or small cubes to make them easy to melt. Set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil and butter.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted and begins to foam, add the pork chops to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until the prosciutto is crispy and the chops are golden brown. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 6

Lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 7

Deglaze the skillet by adding white wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 8

Add the chicken stock to the skillet and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to create a light pan sauce.

Step 9

Return the pork chops to the skillet and spoon some of the pan sauce over the top. Reduce the heat to low.

Step 10

Place the prepared fontina cheese on top of each pork chop. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cheese melt, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 11

Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from heat and garnish the pork chops with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.

Step 12

Serve the pork chops immediately with the pan sauce spooned over the top. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
