Ingredients

• 4 pieces Pork loin chops (thick-cut, bone-in or boneless)
• 100 grams Blue cheese crumbles
• 60 grams Cream cheese (softened)
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 125 milliliters Chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Using a sharp knife, carefully slice a pocket into the side of each pork loin chop. Do not cut all the way through; aim to create a deep and wide enough pocket for the filling.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine the blue cheese crumbles, cream cheese, garlic, and parsley. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 4

Stuff each pork chop pocket with the blue cheese mixture. Press down gently to seal the stuffing inside.

Step 5

Brush the outside of the pork chops with olive oil and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 6

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sear the pork chops for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.

Step 7

Carefully pour the chicken stock into the skillet around the pork chops. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C). Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Optional: If desired, melt a tablespoon of butter over the top of the pork chops before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
