Grilled Pork Chops With Peaches Ingredient List
You'll need the following ingredients to make the best grilled pork chops:
- 4 thick cut pork chops
- 8 slices brie cheese
- 3 peaches
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Note: it is hard to find slices of brie cheese. Buy a wedge from the store and pop it into the freezer for 25 minutes to get it firmed up a bit. Using a sharp knife, slice ¼" slices.
Ingredient Substitutions
Sometimes, you might find yourself missing a few ingredients. No worries! Here are some keto-friendly alternatives you can use:
- Brie cheese: If it is unavailable, opt for a light Camembert, bearing in mind it'll have a stronger aroma and flavor. Alternatively, try goat cheese as a tasty secondary option.
- Olive oil: Replace olive oil with avocado oil or MCT oil (coconut oil).
- Dijon mustard: For a textured alternative, swap Dijon mustard for whole-grain mustard. Avoid using yellow mustard, as it doesn't substitute well in this recipe. If you're not concerned about carb load, honey mustard can also add a delicious twist.
Additional Ingredients
Enhance the flavors of this delicious pork recipe with these optional additions:
- Balsamic reduction: Drizzle reduced balsamic vinegar over peach-loaded pork chops for a delightful finishing touch.
- Fresh herbs: Sprinkle chopped fresh rosemary, thyme, or basil over the grilled pork chops to infuse them with aromatic and savory flavors that will elevate your dish.
- Arugula bed: Serve grilled pork chops on a bed of arugula, topped with shaved Parmesan for freshness and flavor. (Check out my Bistecca Florentina recipe to learn how to serve meats on an arugula bed.)
Note: These additional ingredients are optional and are not a part of the original recipe.

💡 My Pro Tip
To achieve perfectly cooked thick-cut pork chops, bring them to room temperature for even cooking. This prevents the risk of an undercooked center and an overdone exterior. Prior to cooking, generously season the chops with salt for enhanced flavor and pepper for a complementary finish that pairs well with brie and peaches. Once cooked, allow the chops to rest before serving to ensure juicy, tender meat. The brief wait while resting is well worth it for a satisfying dining experience.
⏲️ Time-Saving Tips
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked pork chops without risking undercooking or overcooking.
- Prep the ingredients in advance, especially the brie cheese, for quicker assembly when cooking.
- Double the recipe and store extras for a convenient meal later in the week.

Storage and Reheating Instructions
Storage Tips:
- Once cooled to room temperature, store the leftover pork chops in airtight containers in the fridge for 3-4 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
- If not consumed within 3-4 days, freeze the leftovers to maintain their quality for up to 3 months.
Freezing Tips:
- For freezing, remove the brie and peaches from the pork chops. Once at room temperature, individually wrap the pork chops in plastic wrap and then in a layer of aluminum foil.
- Label the foil with the date and contents, and freeze the pork chops for up to 3 months.
- When ready to enjoy, thaw the pork chops in the fridge overnight before reheating, following the recommended reheating instructions. Avoid thawing in the microwave to preserve the texture of the recipe.
Reheating Tips:
- For best results, reheating in the oven or grill is recommended. Avoid reheating in a pan to prevent uneven heating.
- Preheat to 350°F (177°C) and place the pork chops on a baking sheet with a tablespoon or two of water or stock to retain moisture. Heat for 10-15 minutes or until warm throughout, ensuring not to overcook.
- Add the pork chops directly to the preheated grill, allowing them to heat through without overcooking.
Note: Using a microwave is a crime to reheat these chops. The texture and flavor are compromised using a microwave, so avoid it at all costs!
