Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step

Combine Gouda cheese, bacon, parsley, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper together in a bowl. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Cut each pork chop from one side through the middle horizontally to within 1/2 inch of the other side. Open the two sides and spread them out like an open book. Stuff cheese mixture into each pocket and close; secure with a wooden toothpick. Coat each stuffed pork chop with olive oil. (15 minutes)

04

Step

Whisk egg in a bowl. Mix bread crumbs, salt, and black pepper to taste together in a separate bowl. Carefully dip each stuffed pork chop in the egg; press chop into bread crumb mixture until evenly coated. Place breaded pork chops in a 9x13-inch casserole dish. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 45 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Garnish pork chops with cored apple, green onion, and red grapes. (45 minutes)

For an extra crispy crust, lightly toast the breadcrumbs before coating the pork chops.
Feel free to experiment with different cheeses! Gruyere or sharp cheddar would also be delicious.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but use half the amount.
Ensure the pork chops are cooked through to a safe internal temperature. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven and the thickness of the chops.
