4 Boneless Center-cut Loin Chops, at least 1" thick
4 oz. Smoked Gouda Cheese
4 Strips of Bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 T. Chopped Fresh Parsley
2 T. Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grate the cheese and mix with the bacon and parsley. Cut pork chops horizontally most of the way through (but not all the way) to create a pocket for the filling. Divide the cheese mixture among the pork chops filling them by hand. Heat oil in a frying pan or grill pan if you have one. A panini maker or george foreman grill would probably work too. Sear each side of the pork chops for about 2 minutes per side. Transfer pork chops to a cookie sheet. Cover with tin foil and bake for 15 minutes or until juices run clear when pork chops are pierced with a knife. From: Five Little Peaches
I made these tonight. The filling was really good. The pork chops were a little overcooked at twenty minutes, so I think I'll only cook them 15 minutes next time and then keep checking on them.
