Let this heat to a slight simmer and add the tsp. of balsamic vinegar. 6 Top each pork chop with grated cheese then top each pork chop with the tomato sauce and some more grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil. 7 Place in the oven and let bake for about 15 – 20 minutes depending on how thick the pork chops are. 8 Plate the pork chops with some grated cheese and another drizzle of olive oil.
