Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Sear the pork chops in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. This step is crucial for developing flavor and a beautiful crust. (6 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the skillet with the seared pork chops to the preheated oven. Bake until the pork is just cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 20 minutes, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). (20 minutes)

05

Step

While the pork chops are baking, prepare the Riesling peach sauce. Pour the Riesling wine into the same skillet you used to sear the pork. Place the skillet over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer, using a wooden spoon to scrape up all the flavorful browned bits from the bottom of the pan. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Simmer the wine until it has reduced to about half its original volume, concentrating its sweetness and aroma. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Add the peach wedges to the skillet and sprinkle in the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the peaches are tender but still hold their shape, about 10-15 minutes. The sauce should thicken slightly and become glossy. (15 minutes)

08

Step

Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. (3 minutes)

09

Step

Spoon the luscious Riesling peach sauce generously over the pork chops and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, if desired.

For the best flavor, use peaches that are firm but ripe. If the peaches are too soft, they will become mushy during cooking.
Don't overcrowd the skillet when searing the pork chops. If necessary, sear them in batches to ensure even browning.
If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the seared pork chops to the prepared baking sheet before baking.
The Riesling peach sauce can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving.
