Cooking Instructions:

Prepare the Pork Chops:

1. Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they’re browned and cooked through. Remove the pork chops from the skillet and set them aside.

Create the French Onion Sauce:

4. In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and let it melt over medium heat.
5. Stir in the thinly sliced onions and minced garlic. Sauté the onions until they’re golden brown and caramelized, which will take about 15-20 minutes.
6. Sprinkle the flour over the caramelized onions and stir for a minute until it’s well incorporated.
7. Pour in the beef broth, dry white wine (or additional beef broth), dried thyme, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes until it thickens into a delectable sauce.

Finish and Serve:

8. Return the cooked pork chops to the skillet, nestling them in the French onion sauce.
9. Top each pork chop with a generous portion of shredded Swiss cheese (or Gruyère).
10. Cover the skillet and let it cook for a few more minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Garnish with fresh chives or parsley if desired.
