Cheesy Garlic Butter Pork Chops Recipe

Cheesy Garlic Butter Pork Chops Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops, bone-in or boneless
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prep the Pork Chops:
   • Season both sides of the pork chops with salt, pepper, and paprika.
2. Cook the Pork Chops:
   • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add the pork chops and sear them until golden brown on each side and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side (depending on thickness). Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
   • Reduce the heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet.
   • Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and thyme, cooking until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
   • Pour this garlic butter mixture over the cooked pork chops.
4. Add Cheese:
   • Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the pork chops.
   • You can place the skillet under the broiler for a minute or two to melt the cheese until bubbly and golden, if your skillet is oven-safe.
5. Garnish and Serve:
   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
6. Serving Suggestions:
   • These cheesy garlic butter pork chops can be served with a side of mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
