Step by step recipe

1	Rinse 4 porks chops and dry on a piece of absorbant paper.
2	Rub both sides with a sprig of rosemary.
3	Salt and pepper both sides. Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).
4	Use a frying pan that can go in the oven. Pour in 2 tablespoons olive oil and put on high heat. When the oil is really hot, fry the chops quickly to brown them on both sides (about 2 minutes on each side).
5	Take off the heat, add the sprigs of rosemary to the pan with the chopped shallot and a knob of butter on each chop. Cook in the oven for about 15 minutes.
6	5 minutes before the end of cooking, you can pop a slice of your preferred cheese on each chop.
7	Serve piping hot with your choice of accompaniment. Here, I have chosen pan-fried mushrooms.

Remarks

If you will be adding cheese, only salt the meat very lightly beforehand.
