A note about serious food allergies

Bruschetta, that mix of basil and tomato, is lovely everywhere, on bread or even just on a fork, but it's extra lovely on a pork chop, where the succulent meatiness melds like it was born to. We add to perfection with a bit of the sweet balsamic glaze, and a dash of heat with the red pepper flakes. Lovely here, there, and everywhere.

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • If using filets mignon, follow same instructions as pork chops in Steps 1, 2, and 3, searing until browned, 2-3 minutes per side, then adding topping, and roasting until steaks reach minimum internal temperature, 7-9 minutes. Rest, 3 minutes.

  • If using salmon, pat dry and season flesh side with a pinch of salt and pepper. Follow same instructions as pork chops in Steps 2 and 3, searing, skin-side up, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes, then transferring to baking sheet, seared-side up, adding topping, and roasting until fish reaches minimum internal temperature, 7-10 minutes.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Core tomato and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Pat pork chops dry, and season both sides with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper.

  2. 2

    Start Pork Chops and Make Bruschetta

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add pork chops to hot pan. Cook until golden brown, 1-2 minutes per side.

    Remove from burner.

    While pork chops cook, mix tomato, pesto, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a mixing bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Finish the Pork Chops

    Transfer pork chops to prepared baking sheet and top evenly with bruschetta, then Parmesan. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    Roast in hot oven until Parmesan is golden-brown and chops reach a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees, 4-6 minutes.

    Pork thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner chop, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

    Remove from oven. Rest, 3 minutes.

    While chops roast, cook broccoli.

  4. 4

    Cook the Broccoli

    Return pan used to cook pork chops to medium heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil.

    Add broccoli, 1/4 cup water, a pinch of salt, and garlic salt to hot pan. Cover, and cook until water is almost completely evaporated, 5-6 minutes.

    Uncover, and stir occasionally until tender, 2-3 minutes.

    Remove from burner. Top evenly with mozzarella. Let cheese melt, 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish
