Step 1

In a nonstick pan, add olive oil and heat on medium high heat until shimmery.

Step 2

Add garlic, onion, pepper, and mushroom. Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 3

Cook 5-8 minutes, until softened, browned, and fragrant. Set aside.

Step 4

Pat pork dry from any liquid in the package with a paper towel.

Step 5

Using a sharp knife, cut a small pocket into each pork chop so you can stuff it. Insert the point of a small sharp knife horizontally into the fat-covered side. Move the knife back and forth to create a deep pocket about 1 1/2 inches wide - be careful not to rip through the pork chop.

Step 6

Stuff pork chops with cheese and browned vegetables. You can secure with a toothpick, or leave unsecured and bake. Season well with montreal steak seasoning (or any seasoning blend you love.)

Step 7

Bake 15-20 minutes, until a digital thermometer registers 135 degrees throughout. Take care to ensure all stuffing has reached 135 degrees as it can cook unevenly.

Step 8

When fully cooked, let rest 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Enjoy!
