Preparation
Step 1
Cut a horizontal pocket in the side of each pork chop (or ask your meat retailer to do this for you).
Combine 3/4 cup of the cheese and dried apricots; stuff into pockets and pinch edges together to close pockets.
Sprinkle thyme, salt and pepper over chops.
Heat a 12-inch ovenproof skillet (wrap handle in foil) coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot.
Add chops; cook 4 minutes per side or until browned.
Combine preserves and mustard; spread over chops.
Transfer skillet to a preheated broiler.
Broil 4 inches from heat source until topping is browned and chops are no longer pink in center, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over chops; return to broiler and broil 1 minute or until cheese is melted.
