Saturday July 9th 2011

Stuffed Pork Chops with Prosciutto, Mozzarella, and Sage

Monday May 24th 2010

To make this recipe, cut a pocket in thick-cut pork chops. Stuff with prosciutto, cheese, and fresh sage. (Yep, this is pig stuffed with more pig.) Sear on both sides to develop a flavorful, brown crust, then finish in the oven. That’s it.
