Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

Peel and finely dice the onions; trim the mushrooms and also dice them. Season the chops with pepper and sear them vigorously on both sides in a pan with hot clarified butter; then remove and keep warm. Sauté the onions in the fat until translucent, add the mushrooms, and braise until the liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in the cream and simmer until the mushroom stuffing is creamy; then let cool slightly. Butter a baking dish (it should be large enough to fit two chops), place the chops in the dish, pour the mushroom stuffing over them, and place a slice of ham on top of each one. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and cook for 15-20 minutes in a preheated oven at 200°C (top and bottom heat) or 180°C (fan oven). Serve with mashed potatoes.
