Stuffed Porkchops

I tried a new recipe last night! I have never before in my life made pork chops....but I do love them! My mother in law kindly gave us some pork chops last weekend....and I was excited to find a Stuffed Pork Chop recipe.
These Pesto and Mozzarella Stuffed Pork Chops are absolutely delicious!! Not only is the "stuffing"yummy, but it gets a nice and crispy outside as well! Mmmmmm

Cut a pocket in each chop and stuff.

Use a toothpick to seal

The finished chop!

STUFFED PORK CHOPS

1/2 C. Mozzarella 

2 Tablespoons Pesto (I made my own from our Basil plant: handful of basil leaves, drizzle oil, 2 garlic cloves and salt and pepper in food processor) 

2 Tablespoons + 1/2 C. Italian Seasoned bread crumbs (the italian adds a lot of good flavor to the crust!

4 pork chops

1/4 C. flour

salt and pepper

2 eggs, beaten

Preheat oven to 425

Combine mozzarella, pesto and the 2 tablespoons of bread crumbs in a bowl.

Cut a pocket in each chop. And use mozzarella mix to stuff each one...fill them as full as you can! the more the better!

In small bowl combine flour, salt and pepper

In another bowl the eggs

In another bowl the breadcrumbs

Dip each chop in flour, egg, then breadcrumbs

Heat oil in skillet.

Cook about 7 min on both sides (until nice and brown!)

Transfer to baking dish and place in oven for 15 min. or until cooked through.

I served these with Roasted Garlic Bacon Potatoes and it was a delicious meal!! that recipe can be found here: http://krystinaskitchen89.blogspot.com/2013/04/garlic-roasted-potatoes-with-bacon.html
