Stuffed Pork Chops
Stuffed with a flavorful mixture of Gruyere cheese, garlicky mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes, these Pork Chops are anything but ordinary.
Servings 6
Ingredients
- 6 pork chops, boneless (about 2 pounds)
- 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 6 ounces Gruyere cheese
- 3 ounces fresh baby spinach
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil and chopped
- 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomato oil, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato oil to a large skillet, along with the sliced mushrooms.
- Sauté until they have some good color, then add in the minced garlic and continue sautéing for another 20 seconds.
- Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach. Continue cooking just until the spinach has wilted, then remove from the heat.
- Pour the mixture into a bowl, then set aside to cool slightly, while you prepare the pork chops.
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Cut a deep slit or pocket into the side of each pork chop, making sure not to cut all the way through, otherwise the filling will leak out.
- Sprinkle the garlic salt, pepper, smoked paprika and thyme over each side of the pork chops.
- Add a slice of the Gruyere cheese and some of the filling inside the pocket of each pork chop, making sure not to overstuff them.
- Heat the same skillet to medium high, add in the remaining sun-dried tomato along with the pork chops.
- Sear on each side, then bake in your preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the pork chops reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F, when checked with a meat thermometer.
