Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Pork chops
12 min
Pat the pork chops dry and season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a skillet and sear the chops for 5–6 minutes per side, until the juices near the bone run clear. Transfer to a warm plate.
Sauce
5 min
Reduce the heat to low, pour in the milk, and stir to loosen the pan drippings. Add the bryndza and sour cream and heat, stirring constantly, until melted into a smooth sauce. Do not boil.
Serve
Pour the sauce over the pork chops, sprinkle with chives, and serve with boiled potatoes.

Tip: Gently heat the bryndza sauce without boiling it; boiling would cause the cheese to curdle and make the sauce grainy.
