Tips:

  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or a heavy saucepan to flatten the pork chops.
  • Be sure to cook the pork chops until they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked pork chops will be dry and tough.

  • Bake the crostini in a preheated oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pork chops are heated through.
  • Serve the crostini immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
