Baked Pork Chops (Southern Style!)

Don't be fooled by the title and or the spinach scare you off! My boys, despise spinach but when this dish is made -- there are never any leftovers! Great even cold!

Ingredients:
6 boneless pork chops
Seasoned flour
1 (27 ounce) can spinach, chopped leaf (or family size, frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3 egg yoks
2 cups medium white sauce
grated american cheese


White Sauce:

4 tbsp butter
4 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp course ground black pepper
2 cups milk

INSTRUCTIONS:

Cover pork chops with seasoned flour and sear on both sides over high heat until well browned. Reduce heat. Cover the pan and cook about 30 minutes, turning chops frequently.

While pork chops are cooking, cook spinach in separate pan until hot. Next, put hot spinach in a shallow, buttered baking dish; lay chops on it, side by side.

Beat yolks well, stir into white sauce, and pour over the chops. Sprinkle with grated cheese and place in 350° oven until cheese bubbles. Serve from baking dish.

WHITE SAUCE:

Melt butter in saucepay. Add flour, salt and petter. Still until well blended. Slowy add milk and cooking, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens. Add well-beaten egg yolks.

Notes:

The original recipe calls for shoulder chops. We buy pork tenderloin and slice our own! One of our latest biggies is switching up the cheese. A truly good smoked gouda is outrageous but another goodie is a combination of white sharp and a mild.
