Oh my goodness, what an amazing recipe for pork chops. I made this as written, but as half a batch for two. Everything comes together beautifully and I will be making this often. Many thanks for sharing such a winner.

Nice new way of preparing pork chops. I actually made this because I was looking for a good food pairing for a new Cotes du Rhone wine that I bought last Saturday--it was a good fit. The brie was a crucial part of softening the tannins and really bringing out the fruit. As others have said--this is simple enough to make for Monday night dinner, but looks and tastes good enough to feature at a dinner party.

This was really really good and simple to put together. I did add a little bit of extra garlic and left out the corriander. I am going to try a stronger cheese next time. Also, going to use the crumb mixture on top of baked fish!

WOW! This is AMAZING. My 4 year old ate it (without the brie) and LOVED the "crunchies" on top. She ate every single piece. My DH who is a cheese fanatic was really impressed also. Thank you for helping me make something potentially boring spectacular!

Just finished eating this and had to write and say thankyou for a wonderful recipe. We had some brie left over from Christmas and I didn't know what to do with it and then I found this meal! It was fantastic and myself and my husband loved every mouthful!
