Apples, onions, and melty cheese make the most delicious stuffed pork chops. When choosing chops for this recipe, look for thicker-cut pork chops at least 1 ½ inches thick; otherwise, it will be too difficult to cut a pocket for the apple and onion stuffing. If your chops are on the thinner side, consider skipping making a pocket for the stuffing and follow our tip for roasting the chops on top of the stuffing instead.
Ingredient:
- 2 thick-cut pork chops, 1 ½ inch thick
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves or use 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, plus more to taste
- 1 small apple, cored and sliced
- 1/2 medium onion, sliced
- 2 ounces Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
- 4 wooden toothpicks for securing the stuffing
