Mozzarella Stuffed Pork Chops Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat broiler on high and set oven rack 4 inches from heat. Line broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet with foil.
• In a medium saucepan, prepare polenta according to package directions.
• While polenta is cooking, prepare the pork chops. Place chops flat on cutting board and, using a sharp paring knife, make a horizontal slit 3 to 4 inches deep and 3 to 4 inches long in the side of each chop. Spread each mozzarella slice with 1 teaspoon anchovy paste. Stuff a piece of mozzarella inside each chop, press the pork closed, and secure with a toothpick.
• Rub the chops with 1 tablespoon oil, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and place on the foil-lined pan. Broil until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm remaining 1/4 cup oil. Add garlic, tomatoes, and broth. Cover and cook until tomatoes softened and just beginning to burst, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove cover and discard garlic. Stir in 1 tablespoon butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• When the polenta is cooked, whisk in enough milk to thin the polenta to your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Serve pork chops over polenta, topped with tomato pan sauce and parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• With a pairing knife, cut a pocket in the rounded side of each chop. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs, sausage, prosciutto, mozzarella, garlic, and salt and pepper. Stuff each chop with the mixture and sew or tie them closed with string.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, pat the chops dry then place them in the pan. Brown on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the pork chops and set them aside in a roasting pan.
• Add the onions, butter, white wine, and chicken broth to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 6 to 8 minutes. Add them to the pan with the pork chops. And bake for 1 hour. Remove the string before serving, and drizzle the pork chops with pan juices once plated.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, beat egg. Dip chops into egg; coat with bread crumbs.
• Arrange chops in a 2-qt. oblong baking dish. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes.
• Pour spaghetti sauce over chops. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake 5 more minutes or until chops are no longer pink.

Steps:

• Combine cheese, mushrooms, parsley, salt and pepper. Place bread crumbs on a plate or a pie pan. Beat the egg and place in another shallow dish.
• Make a slit in each pork chop about 3/4 the way through. Stuff with the cheese and musroom mixture. Dip and roll the chops in the egg then the bread crumbs. Use toothpicks to help keep them closed if you need to.
• Place each pork chop in a greased baking dish, cover, and bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
