Crusted Pork Loin Chops

These pork chops are full of flavor...but easy flavor that doesn't leave you in the kitchen for long!  They do need to marinate for a few hours (and don't over-marinate or they'll be rubbery), so prepare in advance.  Make sure you use a really good aged cheddar here, you're only using a little, so the quality really does count!
