DirectionsHeat 1 tablespoon each oil and butter in a large broiler-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until very brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add water, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and baking soda, scraping the bottom of the pan. Cook until the onions are deep golden brown and very soft, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine, scraping up browned bits, and cook until nearly evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in broth.

Spread breadcrumbs on a plate and press both sides of pork chops into them. Add the pork chops to the pan and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean plate. Add the reserved onions to the pan and cook, stirring, to heat through, about 30 seconds. Nestle the pork chops into the onions and sprinkle with Gruyère.Place the pan under the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and golden and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of a chop registers 140°F, 2 to 3 minutes.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
