I just tried making these for the first time last night, but I liked them enough that I know we'll have them again. I modified the recipe some and will tell you how I did that--they were still great. I served them with steamed asparagus & hollandaise sauce which was o.k., but I probably should've also fixed a wild rice or a salad or something. I made cooked apples for dessert, I'll put that recipe in a separate post.
*Ingredients:
4-6 boneless thick pork loin chops
8 oz crumbled blue cheese
8 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled
2 tsp. dried chives
Adobo seasoning (to taste)
Black pepper (to taste)
*How I modified the ingredients: I just had the regular thin cut, bone-in kind, and they worked too. Instead of cutting a slit to stuff them, I just rolled them up and closed w/ toothpick. I also only had crumbled Feta cheese on hand (which I prefer to blue anyway) so I used this and it was yummy. I cooked my bacon in the microwave--very fast & easy. I did not have dried chives so I left them out...I'll try to get them next time to see what difference that makes.
Oh and I used Lowry's Season Salt instead of Adobo...I've never even heard of Adobo, does anyone know what it is?
Instructions:
Using a sharp knife, cut a slit into each pork chop to make a pocket, taking care not to cut all the way through. Mix together cheese, bacon, chives. Divide cheese filling into loose balls equal to the number of pork chops you are cooking. Stuff each pork chop with the ball of cheese filling and secure opening with a toothpick. Sprinkle lightly with adobo & pepper on both sides of chops. Bake at 350 for 20-30 min. or until done.
