Baked Creamy Garlic Pork Chops
Description
This recipe begins by blending softened cream cheese with sour cream, freshly pressed garlic, salt, pepper, and shredded Parmesan cheese. The pork chops are seasoned simply and placed in a casserole dish, then topped with a spoonful of the creamy garlic mixture. Mozzarella is sprinkled over the top to melt and brown during baking.
The pork chops bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until cooked through (145°F internal temperature). Finishing under the broiler for one to two minutes gives the cheese topping a nice browned edge. The dish’s creamy layer helps keep the meat moist and infuses it with garlic and cheese flavors.
Serving warm with parsley garnish complements the hearty pork chops with an herbaceous note and a soft yet slightly crispy cheese topping, making for a satisfying protein entrée.
