Ingredients

  • 2 Large Pork Chops
  • 8 Slices Thin sliced 97% fat-free smoked ham
  • 4 Tablespoons Whipped Cream Cheese Any type of Herb flavored cream cheese can be used. Or use plain cream cheese and mix in 1 Tablespoon of chopped herbs (Sage, Thyme, and Oregano)
  • 2 teaspoons Coarse Sea Salt About 1/2 Teaspoon per side
  • 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper About 1/2 Teaspoon per side
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Place One Tablespoon (Herb Flavored) Cream Cheese in two slices of thinly sliced ham. Make two for each pork chop.
    4 Tablespoons Whipped Cream Cheese
  • Place the ham cream cheese rolls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. This keeps the cheese from melting away while cooking
    8 Slices Thin sliced 97% fat-free smoked ham
  • Butterfly the pork chops
    2 Large Pork Chops
  • Salt and Pepper the Pork Chops on both sides. Let the Pork Chops set at room temperature for 30 minutes
    2 teaspoons Coarse Sea Salt, 2 teaspoons Ground black pepper
  • Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees.
    Add olive oil to a large oven safe saute pan and heat for about 30 seconds
    1 1/2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • Place the pork chops into the oven safe saute pan with the heated olive oil. Sear the pork chops on each side. About 3 to 4 minutes per side. NOTE: Don't force-flipping the pork chops. They will easily flip when they have a nice sear and are crispy on the outside
  • Add the ham and cheese rolls to the center of the pork chops. Secure the pork chops with toothpicks if needed.
    Place the oven safe saute pan with the stuffed pork chops in the 350-degree oven. Bake for 20 minutes until the pork chops are done. The internal temperature of 160 (Medium) to 170 (Well done) degrees
  • When pork chops are done remove from oven. Remove the toothpicks and drizzle the drippings over the chops
  • Check out the melted cheese and juice
  • Enjoy!
