**Step 4: Serve and Garnish**
Place the pork chops on serving plates and spoon the balsamic peach mixture over the top. Crumble the blue cheese over the dish while it’s still warm so that it softens slightly and melts into the sauce. Garnish with fresh thyme or basil for a pop of color and added fragrance.

### 🍽️ **How to Serve Balsamic Peach Pork Chops with Blue Cheese**
– **With roasted vegetables**: Serve these pork chops alongside roasted sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, or asparagus for a well-rounded meal.

– **With mashed potatoes or rice**: The balsamic sauce pairs wonderfully with mashed potatoes or a simple bowl of steamed rice to soak up all the delicious juices.

### 💡 **Pro Tips for Success**
– **Don’t overcook the pork**: Pork chops are best when they’re still slightly juicy. Keep an eye on the internal temperature — 145°F is the sweet spot for a tender, flavorful chop.
– **Use fresh peaches** for the best flavor, but if peaches are out of season, frozen peaches work just as well in this recipe. Just be sure to thaw them before cooking.
– **For a tangier sauce**, use a splash of red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead of honey for a sharper flavor contrast.
– **Experiment with cheese**: If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, you can substitute with goat cheese, feta, or even sharp cheddar for a different twist.
