  3. Add pork chops to skillet, seasoned side down. Brown one side of pork chops, without moving, for 8 to 10 minutes. Evenly season pork chops with remaining ½ teaspoon salt and remaining ¼teaspoon pepper. Turn pork chops, and continue to cook for 8 to 10 minutes.Remove to a dish; cover lightly with aluminum foil.
  4. Add sage leaves to skillet; cook until crisp. Remove from pan, drain oil, and set aside.
  5. Melt butter in skillet. Add garlic, and cook, stirring often, for 5 minutes. Add remaining ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons flour to garlic mixture. Whisk in milk. Whisk constantly until thickened and bubbly; stir in thyme. Return chops to pan, and garnish with crispy sage leaves. Serve immediately.
