- 2 large pork chops
- 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbled
- 1 cup soft bread crumbs

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon parsley or green onions - finely chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl, stir together bread crumbs, cheese, parsley or onion, salt, and pepper.

- Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Spread crumb mixture evenly on chops, and pat to adhere.
- Preheat the oven to 400F, and heat an oven-safe skillet to medium.
- Add some olive oil to the skillet and heat.
- Cook pork chops for 2 minutes, in the skillet - then transfer to the preheated oven. Cook 6-8 minutes until internal temperature on a thermometer reads 145F.

Notes
- Pork chops. Boneless pork chops that are about an inch thick cook fastest. Thicker chops, and bone-in chops will take longer to cook, and extra few minutes.
- Topping. Add some grated parmesan cheese to the bread crumb topping for an extra kick of cheesy flavor.
- Skillet. If you don't have an oven proof skillet, no problem. Just pan fry in a regular skillet, then transfer the chops to a baking dish or baking sheet before putting in the oven.
- What temperature to cook Pork?
- Pork chops should be cooked to 145 degrees F when tested with a digital thermometer in the thickest part.
