Pork-don Bleu (Pork Chop Cordon Bleu)

NibbleMeThis

I decided to try something new with pork chops last weekend.  I experimented with grilling a Cordon Bleu but using pork instead of chicken.  It turned out pretty great.



Butterflied some boneless pork chops...



Pounded 'em thin...



Seasoned them with salt, pepper, garlic and herbs and topped with sliced chicken and Swiss...



Rolled them up and secured with toothpicks (always count your toothpicks!)



Made a bacon cream sauce...



The sauce was a roux of bacon grease/flour, stock, cream, salt, pepper, and the minced bacon



Then I seared the pork chops 2 minutes per side for 3 sides...



Put it all in some small pans, topped with bread crumbs and finished indirect for 15 minutes until the sauce got bubbly.



Saved a little minced bacon to sprinkle over the Pork-don Bleu...



Yeah, these did NOT suck and I'll be making them again!  (Full Recipe)

That was exactly what I was shooting for, Steve.  I just thought, "I like pork better than chicken, so let's switch them!".   Thanks!

That is wonderful, great idea! Beautiful! I really like pics of new cooks/creations. Thank tou for another 'to do cook'.

So much better than the same ole everyday repeated stuff; wings, briskey, whiskey, spatchcock, burgers, adult beverages, steak. Heck we all know what they look like.
