Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9" x 13" (23 x 33 cm) baking dish with butter.
- Pat the pork chops dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat the olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot and shimmering, add the pork chops. Sear for 2 minutes per side, or until golden brown, with pink centers.
- Place the pork chops in the baking dish, and surround them with the broccoli. Set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan, over medium heat. Stir in the heavy whipping cream, and then add the cream cheese. Continue stirring for a couple of minutes, until smooth. Add the parmesan cheese, stirring for 2 -3 minutes more, until it becomes a creamy sauce.
- Spread the cheese sauce over the broccoli and pork chops. Cover with aluminum foil, and bake on the middle rack for 10 minutes. Uncover, and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the internal pork chop temperature is 135°F (57°C), and the edges of the cheese sauce are golden (see tip). Rest for 5 minutes, before serving.
For an all-over, golden finish:
Place under the broiler after baking for 1-2 minutes.
Turned out far far too oily which I find really sickly & difficult to eat. My husband (not on keto) hates oil as well so when it came out the oven he refused to eat it.
Will replace some of the Mayo with créme fraiche maybe next time & warm in a pan serving just a dollop on top
Yay! I am so glad you loved this one.
Some people don't care for reheated broccoli but other than that, it should work well for bulk prep.
So glad you love them!
