Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir everything together until it forms a smooth and creamy mix.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. Sprinkle black pepper generously on both sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork chops for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Spread the cheesy ranch mixture evenly on top of each pork chop.
Transfer the skillet to your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Let the chops rest for about 3-5 minutes.
Serve your Cheddar Ranch Pork Chops hot, paired with your favorite side dish.
