1
Season both sides of the pork chops with salt and black pepper. Set aside.
2
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions to the skillet.
3
Let the onions cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized. This process will take approximately 15-20 minutes.
4
While onions are caramelizing, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.
5
Once heated, add the pork chops to the cast iron skillet and sear each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
6
Carefully pour the dry sherry and beef stock into the skillet and sprinkle the dried thyme over the pork. Allow it to simmer for a minute.
7
Spread the caramelized onions evenly over the pork chops.
8
Place the skillet in the oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145 degrees.
9
Remove the skillet from the oven, adjust the oven to broil setting, and layer 2 slices of Swiss cheese on top of each pork chop.
10
Place the skillet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. Make sure to watch it carefully to prevent burning.
11
Drizzle any remaining juices from the skillet over the cheesy pork chops before serving. Enjoy while hot.
