Pork chops filled with 3 different kinds of cheese and bacon and then lightly grilled and finished off in the oven. RECIPE AUTHOR: Raymund from Ang Sarap
Fry bacon in pan until crispy, cool down and chop into small pieces
In a bowl combine together chopped bacon ½ cup grated sharp cheddar cheese, ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese, ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese, parsley and chilli powder. Mix then set aside.
Prepare your pork chops by cutting a pouch lengthwise.
Fill the pork with ⅓ of the cheese mixture and do it with the rest. Seal pork chops with either sewing a cooking twine or just by toothpicks.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper then place in a cast iron griddle and grill over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side depending on the thickness of your pork chops.
Sprinkle remaining mozzarella on top of pork chops then place the pork chops still in the griddle in a 220C preheated oven and cook for 5-8 more minutes until mozzarella is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and remove the pork chops from the griddle, let it rest for 5 minutes prior to serving.
