Balsamic Peach Pork Chops with Blue Cheese

Ingredients:

• 1 pound pork chops
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons apricot preserves (or honey)
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced or grated
• 1 teaspoon thyme, chopped (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 large peaches, sliced
• 1/4 cup blue cheese (or feta), crumbled (optional)

Instructions:

1. Marinate the pork chops in half of the mixture of balsamic vinegar, apricot preserves, mustard, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper for 20 minutes to overnight, reserving the remaining half.
2. Shake off the excess marinade and pan fry over medium-high heat until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side, before setting aside.
3. Place the remaining balsamic mixture in the pan and simmer until it starts to thicken, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the peach slices and cook until they are just tender, about 2 minutes.
5. Enjoy the pork chops topped with the balsamic peach sauce and crumbled blue cheese!
