Gouda and Spinach Stuffed Pork Chops
Description
Delicious stuffed and breaded pork chops made with six ingredients - thick-cut pork chops, smoked gouda, fresh spinach, horseradish mustard, panko crumbs, and Creole-style seasoning.
Ingredients
•
cooking spray
•
4 (6 ounce) thick cut pork chops
•
1/2 pound fresh spinach, rinsed and torn into bite-size pieces
•
8 slices smoked Gouda cheese
•
1 cup panko bread crumbs
•
3 tablespoons horseradish mustard
•
1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning, or to taste
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
2
Lay each pork chop flat on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife held parallel to the board to cut a deep pocket into each chop, leaving three sides intact. Fill each pocket with spinach, then cheese.
3
Place panko crumbs in a shallow dish. Spread a thin layer of horseradish over each chop, then roll in crumbs to coat. Arrange chops in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with Creole seasoning.
4
Bake in the preheated oven until brown and crispy, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into pork should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
