Ingredients:

• 4 pork chops, thick-cut and bone-in
• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 cup Gouda cheese, shredded
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth

Instructions:

Preparing the Pork Chops:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Make a pocket in each pork chop by cutting horizontally into the side of the chop, but not cutting all the way through.
3. Season the pork chops with salt, pepper, dried thyme, and paprika both inside the pocket and on the outside.

Making the Stuffing:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped spinach, shredded Gouda cheese, minced garlic, and breadcrumbs.
2. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Stuffing the Pork Chops:

1. Take a generous amount of the spinach and Gouda mixture and stuff it into each pork chop pocket.
2. Press the edges of the pork chops together to seal in the stuffing.

Cooking the Pork Chops:

1. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Sear the stuffed pork chops for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
3. Once seared, pour the chicken or vegetable broth into the skillet around the pork chops.

Baking:

1. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium, as measured with a meat thermometer.
3. Remove from the oven and let the pork chops rest for a few minutes before serving.

Serving:

1. Serve the Gouda & Spinach Stuffed Pork Chops hot, garnished with any remaining stuffing or fresh herbs if desired.
