Oven-Baked Raspberry Buttermilk Cheddar Delight

Ingredients

- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 pound meat (such as chicken breast or pork tenderloin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat.

2. Prepare the Meat:
- Pat the meat dry with paper towels.
- Season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the meat for 2-3 minutes on each side until browned.

3. Make the Raspberry Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, honey, and balsamic vinegar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens, approximately 5-7 minutes.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl to remove seeds.

4. Combine Buttermilk and Cheese:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and shredded cheddar cheese.

5. Assemble the Dish:
- Pour the raspberry glaze over the seared meat in the skillet.
- Drizzle the buttermilk and cheddar mixture over the top.

6. Bake:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

7. Rest and Serve:
- Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, garnished with any remaining fresh raspberries or a sprinkle of cheddar cheese for added visual appeal.
