Time 38m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (8-ounce) 1-inch thick, boneless pork loin chops
Olive oil, for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup packed chopped fresh basil leaves
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 (1 pound) loaf ciabatta or rustic bread, ends trimmed, cut in 1/2 horizontally
4 romaine lettuce leaves, halved lengthwise
4 ounces fontina cheese, cut into (1/4-inch thick) slices

Steps:

  • Put a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. Drizzle the pork chops on both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Sprinkle both sides with the herbs de Provence and grill for 10 minutes. Turn the chops over and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 160 degrees F. Transfer the chops to a cutting board and let them rest for 10 minutes. Slice each chop into 6 (1/4-inch thick) slices.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, basil, lemon zest, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • To assemble the sandwiches: Lay the bottom half of the bread on a work surface and spread with 1/2 of the mayonnaise mixture. Add the lettuce leaves, arrange the cheese slices on the lettuce and top with the pork slices. Spread the top half of the bread with the remaining mayonnaise mixture and cover the sandwiches. Slice the loaf into 4 pieces and serve.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit! The pork is always tender and juicy, and the fontina cheese is melted and gooey. I love the combination of flavors and textures. I would definitely recommend this recipe.

I love this recipe! The pork is always tender and juicy, and the fontina cheese is melted and gooey. I always serve these sandwiches with a side of roasted potatoes and they are always a hit.

These sandwiches were easy to make and turned out great! I used a different type of cheese (provolone) and it worked just as well. The pork was tender and juicy, and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making these sandwiches again.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The pork was dry and overcooked, and the fontina cheese was not melted. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
