Cooking Tips

• Choose pork chops that are about 1 inch thick for best results.
• Make sure to let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
• If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage, but reduce the amount by half.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover pork chops can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the pork chops in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the pork chops with a side of roasted potatoes or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
