Ingredients

Pork Chop

Cheese Sauce

Toppings

Roasted Garlic Smashers

Preparation

Brining the Pork Chop

1. Brine Preparation

In a bowl, mix water, brown sugar, and salt until dissolved. Submerge the pork chop in the brine and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

2. Grilling the Pork Chop

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the pork chop from the brine, rinse with cold water, and pat dry. Grill the pork chop for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.

Preparing the Cheese Sauce

3. Making the Cheese Sauce

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, and cook until thickened. Add the pepper jack cheese, salt, and black pepper, stirring until melted and smooth.

Topping and Serving

4. Blister the Jalapeños

In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add whole jalapeños and cook until blistered on all sides. Remove, chop, and set aside.

5. Preparing Toppings

Dice the tomato and chop the scallions. Set aside.

6. Assemble and Serve

Place the grilled pork chop on a plate, top with cheese sauce, blistered jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and chopped scallions. Serve alongside roasted garlic smashers.

Roasted Garlic Smashers

7. Prepare the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

8. Roast the Garlic

Wrap garlic cloves in aluminum foil and roast in the oven at 400°F for 20 minutes or until soft.

9. Smash and Mix

Smash the boiled potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Mix in roasted garlic, butter, cream, salt, and black pepper until creamy.
