Thick Cut Pork Chops With Mushroom Pan Gravy

"First, two thick-cut pork chops are brined to maximize juiciness. The pork chops are then pan-seared in a cast-iron skillet for a golden, crispy, black pepper crust and then finished in the oven. Then a homemade gravy is made from the pan drippings with white button mushrooms, onion, and a touch of heavy cream for richness. Mashed potatoes or egg noodles would make a perfect accompaniment to these rich and savory pork cops for a complete meal."
