Preheating your oven is a crucial step in achieving perfectly cooked Boursin pork chops. When you preheat the oven, you ensure that the cooking environment is optimal from the moment you place your dish inside. This promotes even cooking and helps to lock in moisture, preventing your pork chops from becoming dry or tough. Additionally, an adequately preheated oven allows for consistent heat distribution, which is essential for achieving that perfect golden-brown crust and ensuring the cheese melts flawlessly.

Ingredients
  

4 bone-in pork chops (about 1 inch thick)

8 oz Boursin cheese (garlic and fine herbs flavor)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.

    Marinate the Pork Chops: Rub the marinade all over the pork chops. Make sure they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) in the refrigerator to enhance the flavor.

      Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

        Pan-Sear the Chops: Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated pork chops and sear them for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.

          Prepare the Boursin Topping: Once the pork chops are seared, remove the skillet from heat. Take the Boursin cheese and spread an even layer on top of each pork chop.

            Bake in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) and the cheese is bubbly.

              Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
