Ingredients
- 2 5- to 6-ounce boneless pork chops
- ⅓ cup cooked white button mushrooms chopped (about 2 ounces)
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 ounces Swiss cheese chopped (about 2 thick slices)
- 1 tablespoon cut fresh parsley leaves chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Slice a pocket into the fat side of each pork chop, being careful not to slice all the way through. Season the outside of the pork with a sprinkling of salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the mushrooms in 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Combine the chopped mushrooms, cheese, parsley, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Stuff the mushroom mixture into the pork pockets and hold shut with toothpicks.
- Place on a rimmed baking sheet or casserole pan. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until no longer pink and the meat registers 145°F using a meat thermometer.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the pork until golden brown, 30 to 60 seconds on each side.
Notes
Using canned mushrooms will save time because there’s no need to cook them first.
