Each piece has a base layer of light brown meat topped with a thick layer of white melted cheese that is browned slightly in spots and has a bubbly texture. Small green parsley leaves are sprinkled on top of each cheesy layer, adding color contrast. A metal spatula is lifting one piece slightly above the dish, showing the melted cheese stretching.

Ingredients

2.5 pounds boneless pork chops (about 1 inch thick)
8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1/2 cup sour cream
4 cloves garlic (pressed)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
Freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400˚F.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, pressed garlic, salt, pepper, and parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Step 3: Season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Arrange them in a single layer in a large 9×13-inch casserole dish. Spoon a generous amount of the garlic cheese mixture over each pork chop, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145˚F. For a browned, bubbly cheese topping, you may broil the dish for 1-2 minutes at the end.
Step 5: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your creamy garlic pork chops!

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, marinate the pork chops in garlic and herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.
You can substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt for a tangier and lighter sauce.
Adding a pinch of smoked paprika to the cheese mixture adds a subtle smoky depth.
Serve with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes to round out the meal.

Storage

Store leftover pork chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until warmed through to avoid drying out the meat. This dish is best enjoyed fresh but maintains good flavor when reheated carefully.
