Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Chops image

These are quite delicious. You need to have chops at least 1 inch in thickness. You can also a use a frenched rack of pork. I have made it with two thin chops toothpicked together but the presentation is not as nice. My family really liked these, and they are quite presentable for company. Also they are fairly simple to make.

Followed the recipe exactly and the pork chops were dry and tough. The blue cheese stuffing was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.
