After figuring out the proper sequencing, the meal came out pretty good, but not great. The recipe as presented on foodnetwork was perhaps the most *****-backward sequencing I have ever seen. Whoever wrote up the recipe as presented here should be fired.

I guessyou saute the mushrooms, then add them with the cheese and pancetta to the opening in the chop; then sear chops, then pop them into the oven?? The directions seem to be muddled up. I rated it three stars before cooking it. I sounds great but I don't know if I am reading one or two recipes for veal chops???
