Serving Size: 4

Cooking Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 4 Large boneless pork chops, tenderized
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 2 Whole sweet apples, peeled
• 1.5 Cups gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) kosher salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) freshly ground black pepper
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) fresh thyme leaves

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Butterfly each pork chop by slicing horizontally through the center with a sharp knife, leaving them attached on one side to create a butterfly shape. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork chops and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Stir in the fresh thyme and remove from heat.
5. Add the crumbled gorgonzola cheese to the apple mixture, stirring gently to combine and form a creamy sauce.
6. Place the seared pork chops on a baking sheet. Stuff each chop with 1/4 of the apple and cheese mixture, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
7. Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pork chops are cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
9. Serve hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired. Enjoy with your favorite side of potatoes or a fresh green salad.
