Balsamic Peach Pork Chops with Blue Cheese

Ingredients:

  • 4 bone-in or boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 ripe peaches, sliced
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 tsp dried thyme)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • Optional: chopped fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Season the pork chops
    Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
  2. Sear the pork chops
    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
  3. Make the balsamic peach glaze
    In the same skillet, add the sliced peaches and sauté for 2–3 minutes until slightly softened. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, honey (or brown sugar), Dijon mustard, and thyme. Simmer for about 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Finish cooking the pork
    Return the pork chops to the skillet, nestling them into the peaches and sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for another 5–7 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through (internal temp should reach 145°F).
  5. Add blue cheese
    Sprinkle crumbled blue cheese over the top. Let it melt slightly for 1–2 minutes, or cover the pan briefly to help it melt more.
  6. Garnish and serve
    Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve hot with your favorite sides — mashed potatoes, rice, or a green salad pair nicely.
