 Saute pork chops until browned in melted butter in an oven proof
skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle chops with salt and pepper; cover
and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes.

Combine cheese, Dijon mustard and 4 Tbl. of heavy cream; spread
mixture evenly over pork chops. Broil 5-6" from heat, remove from
oven immediately when cheese is lightly browned.  Remove pork chops
from skillet to a serving platter (keep warm), reserving all
drippings in skillet.

Add Calados brandy to dripping in skillet; cook over fairly high
heat, deglazing skillet by scraping particles that cling to the
bottom. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining heavy cream and
continue cooking, while stirring constantly until slightly
thickened.

Pour sauce over pork chops and sprinkle with paprika and parsley.
