Рецепт Crispy Stuffed Pork Chops with Spinach and Sun-dried Tomatoes

by Desiree'

When I first started cooking I struggled with new ideas for

pork recipes. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore.

I made this a few weeks back when it was still cold-ish (for

Florida) and

I wanted something warm and cozy for dinner. Now that Spring is officially

here, I probably won’t be making it for a few months. Especially since I just

spent the last two days hemming and hawing over several new bikinis online…

Is it overkill to buy 4 new ones every year? In my defense I

tossed about 5 of my old ones a few months ago. I’d really just be replacing

those.

So this recipe is delicious and I suggest you make it now

before it REALLY is bikini time and you won’t want something that is fried a

little and filled with a tasty cheesy center.

Spinach and Sun-dried Tomato Stuffed Pork Chops

*Makes 4

Ingredients:

• 4 6oz boneless pork chops
• 2 cups frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed (about 1
• cup)
• ½ cup ricotta cheese
• 3 tablespoons boursin herb and garlic cheese
• ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• 3 -4 tablespoons minced sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup flour
• 1 ¼ cup bread crumbs
• 3 tablespoons canola oil
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat

oven to 350 degrees.

In a

small bowl combine spinach, ricotta, boursin, mozzarella, parmesan and

sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper.

Take

each pork chop and pound out to ¼ inch thickness. Spread an equal amount

of mixture all over chops leaving a small border around the edges. Roll

each chop up and secure with toothpicks at the bottom.

Prepare

the coating by beating the egg in a shallow dish. Using a separate plate

for both the flour and bread crumbs season each with salt and pepper.

Dredge each pork chop on all sides through each. Start with the flour,

then egg and finally the bread crumbs.

Use a

large sauté pan and heat oil over medium high heat. Sear all sides of each

pork chop until golden brown. Start with the bottom first and brown the

sides as well. About 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer to a sheet pan and

bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. Once pork is cooked through, remove

from oven and let sit for a few minutes before removing toothpicks and

serving.
