Calories: 694kcal
Ingredients
- ½ pound smoked gouda cheese shredded
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ⅙ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Four 2½-inch thick center-cut, bone-in pork chops
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
- In a small bowl, combine the cheese, bacon, parsley and ⅛ teaspoon of black pepper. Set aside.
- Lay a pork chop flat on a 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 the cheese mixture into the pocket, and close with a wooden toothpick.
- Brush the pork chop 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 the pork is done.
Notes
- Alternately, you can fry these in a pan in a light amount of oil.
- If you are preparing this recipe as GLUTEN-FREE, just make sure that the brand of bacon you are using is known to be GF.
