Description
Easy and elegant enough for the in-laws. Be sure, when filling the chops, not to stuff it too full, or the meat will be done cooking before the cheese has had a chance to melt.
Ingredients
- 2 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ground black pepper
- 2 (2 1/4 inch thick) center-cut, bone-in pork chops
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
- In a small bowl
- combine the cheese
- bacon
- parsley
- and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
- Lay the chop flat on cutting board
- and with a sharp knife held parallel to the board
- cut a pocket into the pork
- going all the way to the bone
- but leaving the sides intact. Stuff cheese mixture into pocket
- and close with a wooden toothpick. Brush meat with oil
- and season with salt and more black pepper.
- Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes on each side
- or until pork is done. Careful not to overcook!
