  1. In a heavy bottom skillet melt the butter with the olive oil. Sauté` the pork chops over medium high 3 minutes on each sided.
  2. Lower the heat to medium and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes for side.
  3. Salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Meanwhile turn on the broil. Mix together in a bowl the heavy cream, mustard and the cheese.
  5. Remove the chops from the stove and place them in an oven proof dish. Spread the cheese-cream mixture over the chops and broil for about 5 minutes.

Notes

  • We all run into the issue when cooking pork chops, which is why so many of us choose not to cook the bone in pork chops: "The curling of the chop."
  • You know what I mean, the fat band that, when heated up, will curl up on one side, leaving the interior meat portion undercooked and the other overcooked.
  • I do have the solution to this minor dilemma. Before seasoning your pork chops, with a sharp knife, make a small indented incision into the thick fat band surrounding the chop.
  • Do not cut the fat band through; that will overcook your meat.
  • This small incision will prevent your chop from curling under and allowing you to cook it evenly.
