Danish Puff Pork Chops: The Nostalgic Comfort Food You’ve Never Tried—But Should

When I stumbled across a recipe for Danish Puff Chops in a small-town Iowa centennial cookbook, I immediately flagged it to try. I love nostalgic recipes that remind me of my childhood and had a hunch this one would fit the bill. Here's how to make the Midwestern classic.

What Are Danish Puff Pork Chops?

The recipe stars boneless pork chops and a creamy sauce made with whole milk and shredded cheese. The dish is baked in one pan, and as it bakes, the sauce forms a golden-brown puffed crust on the meat. The dish isn't a traditional Danish recipe but rather a comfort food classic that was created in the United States. Serve the dish over rice or pasta to soak up the cheesy sauce.
