Ingredients

3 teaspoons olive oil divided
4 4- ounce boneless pork chops
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 ounces grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F. Season both sides of your pork chops with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, combine garlic, thyme, 2 teaspoons of the olive oil, Parmesan cheese and dried thyme. Stir to combine.
Heat an oven safe skillet over medium high heat. Add remaining olive oil to the pan and add pork chops. Cook until browned on one side, about 4 minutes.
Turn pork chops over and spread the garlic parmesan mixture over the top of your pork chops.
Add the pan to your preheated oven and cook for 8-10 minutes.
The pork is done with cheese is lightly toasted and pork chops are cooked through to a temperature of 140-145°F when checked with a meat thermometer.
Remove from the oven and let pork chops rest 5-8 minutes before serving.

Farm Girl Tips

Use a meat thermometer to check if your pork chops are done. They should reach a temperature of 145°F. Contrary to what childhood may have taught you, it's okay if they're a tiny bit pink.
