Bruschetta Pork Chop

Recipe found here! I'm a weird person. I don't like tomatoes, but throw them in a bruschetta mix with balsamic, onions and garlic i'll eat them right up! Made this last night for dinner and it was very good. Nice change to a pork chop meal. This was really easy and quick to make. 


4 boneless pork chops
2 large, very firm, tomatoes, diced 
½ large red onion, finely diced
3-4 cloves garlic, finely minced
2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for basting
1½ tbsp balsamic vinegar, plus more for drizzle
½ tsp salt
fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or thinly sliced, whatever you prefer)
salt to taste
pepper to taste


Preheat your grill or BBQ. Make your bruschetta topping by gently tossing together the tomatoes, onion, garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, ½ teaspoon salt, and basil leaves. Set aside. Season your pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Grill for 3+ minutes per side depending on the thickness of your chops. Remove from BBQ and transfer to an oven safe dish. Top chops with mozzarella cheese and place under your broiler for about one minute, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned. Let rest for at least 5 minutes to redistribute juices. Top with a heaping spoonful of the brushetta mixture, and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
