Ingredients
2 oz Gouda cheese, smoked, shredded
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/8 tsp ground black pepper, plus more as needed to taste
2 pork chops, 2 ¼-inch thick each, center-cut, bone-in
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
Preparation
Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese, bacon, parsley, and black pepper.
Lay the chop flat on a cutting board. With a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket into the pork, going all the way to the bone but leaving the sides intact.
Stuff cheese mixture into the pocket and close with a wooden toothpick.
Brush meat with oil and season with salt and more black pepper.
Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill over medium heat for 5-8 minutes on each side, or until pork is done. Be careful not to overcook. Serve once done.
