Cut a horizontal pocket into each chop from the fat side, going almost to the bone but not through the sides. A small knife and short strokes.
Push the cheese and two sage leaves into each pocket and press the opening closed. A cocktail stick holds it if it gapes.
Salt the outside well and leave the chops out of the fridge for 15 minutes. A cold chop cooks unevenly.
Sear in the oil over high heat, 3 minutes a side, then stand them on their fat edge with tongs for 2 minutes to render it.
Drop the heat to medium, add the butter, and baste for 3 minutes, spooning it over continuously.
Rest 5 minutes before serving. Cutting straight away lets the melted cheese run out with the juices.
