Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the pork chops and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Remove the chops and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add sliced onions and cook until softened and caramelized (about 10 minutes).
Stir in thyme and beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
Return the pork chops to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Sprinkle shredded Gruyère cheese over the chops and cover until melted.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Enjoy your delicious French onion pork chops!
