These pork chops feel fancy enough for a dinner party but come together so easily. Adding to the convenience, they can bake in the oven while the rest of the meal gets the stovetop.
Directions
- PREHEAT oven to 375°F.
- COOKÂ bacon in a large iron skillet or oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until done. Add apple, shallots, rosemary, sage, salt, and ground black pepper; cook for another 3-4 minutes.
- TRANSFERÂ mixture to a medium bowl keeping some pan drippings in pan. Add cheddar to apple mixture and stir to combine.
- CUTÂ a horizontal slit in one side of each chop to form a pocket. Spoon stuffing mixture evenly into each pocket. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over both sides of the pork chop.
- COOKÂ chops in pan drippings of hot skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until pork chops are cooked through.
