Danish Puff Pork Chops
July 8, 2025
I'd never heard of this dish, but it sounded so interesting that I simply had to make it. Danish Puff Pork Chops use boneless pork chops and topped with a thick sauce made of butter, flour, milk, egg, sharp cheddar cheese and finely minced onion. It’s then spooned over seared pork chops and then baked. As it bakes, it sets and creates a slightly puffed, flavorful crust. Despite their name, Danish Puff Pork Chops are not a traditional Danish recipe. They are considered a comfort food classic that originated in the midwest of the United States. It's unique and absolutely delicious!

Directions
1Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine salt, pepper, and sage. Sprinkle pork chops with spice mixture.
2In a 12-inch oven going skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add chops and cook on one side until browned, 4 minutes. Remove from heat, turn pork chops to seared side up. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add butter and cook until melted. Whisk in flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat. Whisk in egg. Stir in cheese and onion. Return to heat. Cook and stir until smooth and cheese melts about 2 to 3 minutes. Spoon puff mixture atop each chop. Bake 20 to 25 minutes until puffed and golden brown and pork chops are done (145°F). Top with chives, if desired.
