Gourmet Stuffed Pork Chops

Ingredients

• 2 (3/4 inch thick) bone-in pork chops
• 1 (4 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
• 4 ounces diced Swiss cheese
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup white Zinfandel wine, or as needed

Directions

Lay pork chops flat onto your work surface. Use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a pocket in each pork chop making a 2 inch slit in the side.

Mix mushrooms, Swiss cheese, parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a bowl; stuff pork chops with mushroom mixture. Secure the open side with a toothpick.

Whisk eggs in a bowl; pour bread crumbs into a separate bowl. Dip the stuffed pork chops into the beaten egg; press pork chops into bread crumbs until completely coated.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; place pork chops, pocket side-down, into the hot oil. Cook until outside of pork chops is browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Pour in enough wine to come halfway up pork chops. Reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until pork chops are tender, about 2 hours. Check wine level occasionally and add more as needed. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
