John's Baked Pork Chops Stuffed with Smoked Gouda and Bacon image

It was too rainy to grill so I prepared a baked version using boneless center-cut pork chops. I breaded the chops and added a baked apple garnish for flair. We were very pleased by the outcome. I used the fat line as marker for making the cuts for the stuffing. We like our pork well done so cooking time may vary according to your tastes.

Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 (2 1/4-inch thick) center-cut boneless pork chops
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 egg
1 cup bread crumbs
¼ teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
1 apple, cored
1 green onion
2 pieces red grapes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine Gouda cheese, bacon, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl.
  • Cut each pork chop from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Stuff cheese mixture into each pocket and close; secure with a wooden toothpick. Coat each stuffed pork chop with olive oil.
  • Whisk egg in a bowl. Mix bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper to taste together in a separate bowl. Carefully dip each stuffed pork chop in the egg; press chop into bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. Place breaded pork chops in a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  • Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Garnish pork chops with cored apple, green onion, and red grapes.
