If you started cooking chops with tomatoes and cheese in the oven, check out some of our recommendations. First, the meat steaks should be well beaten. In order for the pieces to not lose their juiciness, they must first be placed in a transparent plastic bag. Then the beaten meat is rubbed with salt and the usual spices and put in a pan. Fry the pieces almost until ready. Here is the second secret. Only after that the ingredients are placed on a baking sheet and sent to the oven. Thus, it is possible to achieve unsurpassed tenderness of the dish. Next, we will explain in detail how to cook pork chops in the oven with tomatoes, cheese and mushrooms.
Royal- style pork and cheese preparation
You do not need exotic ingredients to prepare this gourmet dish. Here is the complete list of products:
- Pork chops - 2 pieces.
- Fresh champignons - 6 pieces.

- Medium-sized tomato - 1 piece.

The pork side portion contains a small amount of fat on the edge, without which the dish will turn out to be dry. The first step in cooking is the thorough preparation of the meat.
Chops, baked in the oven with tomatoes and cheese, will taste amazing if the pork chops are beaten to double the size of the pieces. It is very good if the meat after beating becomes almost transparent to the lumen. In this regard, preliminary marinating of meat is no longer necessary. Before frying it should be salted and seasoned with the usual spices, for example, black pepper or coriander. After 15 minutes, you can put the meatballs in the pan.
Cooking method
Today we cook chops with tomatoes and cheese, baked in the oven. The frying pan, on which we will lay out the pieces of pork, must first be covered with vegetable oil and heated. Now you can reduce the heat to medium and fry the meatballs for three minutes on each side. The secret to instant cooking lies in hard beating. This time will be enough for the meat to fry almost until ready.
The time has come to lay the pork on a baking sheet. If you do not use parchment paper for baking, you can pour the remaining oil in the pan into the container. Next, finely chopped champignons should be placed on the pieces of meat (evenly distributed over both pieces). Cut the tomato into thin plates and lay on top of the mushrooms. Now you can add a little salt and pepper. Grate Parmesan on a fine grater and spread over the dish with the last layer. Chops with cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes in the oven are cooked for 25-30 minutes. The oven must be preheated to a temperature of 200 degrees. On hot meat, parmesan melts faster, so the total time will be enough to form a ruddy and appetizing crust. This dish can be served with raw vegetables, sliced, or with herbs. A more sophisticated side dish is not required.
