Mushroom and Ricotta Stuffed Pork Chops

Ingredients

  • 8 or 9 Pork Chops
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, diced
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 200 g ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat a heavy pan and add half the oil. When hot, saute the onions, mushrooms and herbs.
Take of the heat, add breadcrumbs, ricotta, and egg. Mix to throughly combine.

If the chops are relatively thick (1/2″ or more), slice partway through the middle, almost making the chop into two thinner chops. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff this opening.

Divide the stuffing into eight or nine portions and form each portion of stuffing into a flattish oval.

Press the stuffing into the opening cut in the pork chop and press closed.

Brown on the stove top and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cooked through.
