If you're looking for a delicious way to enjoy pork chops while staying on track with your keto goals, this recipe is a must-try.

Ingredients

4 boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick, approximately 600g)

2 tbsp olive oil (30ml)

1/2 tsp salt (3g)

1/4 tsp black pepper (1g)

1/4 tsp garlic powder (1g)

1/4 cup heavy cream (60ml)

4 oz cream cheese, softened (113g)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (100g)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25g)

1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Cooking Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

    2. Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

    3. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

    4. Sear the pork chops for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. This step is crucial for developing flavor and creating a nice crust.

    5. Remove the skillet from the heat.

    6. In a medium bowl, combine the heavy cream, softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined and smooth.

    7. Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the seared pork chops.

    8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden brown and the pork chops are cooked through to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).

    9. Let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.

    10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

      Pro Tips and Variations

      For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.

      Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Monterey Jack or Gruyere.

      To add more vegetables to the dish, saute some sliced mushrooms or spinach and add them to the skillet before topping with the cheese mixture.

      If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the pork chops to a baking dish after searing them.

      Ensure the cream cheese is thoroughly softened to prevent a lumpy sauce.

      The searing stage can be skipped if you are short on time, but it greatly enhances the overall flavor profile of thecheesy pork chops.
