Description
Center-cut pork chops, stuffed with gouda cheese, parsley, and bacon are excellent grilled or broiled.
Ingredients
•
2 ounces smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
•
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
•
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
•
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
•
2 (2 1/4 inch thick) center-cut, bone-in pork chops
•
1 teaspoon olive oil
•
1/4 teaspoon salt
•
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions
1
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
2
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, bacon, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper.
3
Lay the chop flat on 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 cheese mixture into pocket, and close with a wooden toothpick. Brush meat 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 pork is done. Careful not to overcook!
