Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix together the blue cheese, bacon and chives. Divide into halves, and pack each half into a loose ball. Place each one into a pocket of a butterflied pork chop, close, and secure with toothpicks. Season each chop with garlic salt and pepper. Keep in mind that the blue cheese will be salty. Place in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or it may take longer if your chops are thicker. Cook until the stuffing is hot, and chops are to your desired degree of doneness. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.

PORK CHOPS WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE
Sometimes a sauce is just a sauce, but with these tender chops, it really makes the dish. If you like a little spice, mix a pinch of nutmeg with the black pepper before you sprinkle it on the meat. -Kathleen Specht, Clinton, Montana

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED PORK LOIN CHOPS
This recipe occurred to me because I love blue cheese melted over a thick juicy beefsteak . . . why wouldn't it taste yummy with pork as well ? I have used both Roquefort as well as Gorgonzola, both work equally well. Measurements are estimates, as they will depend on the size of your chops.

Steps:
- With a sharp knife, make a horizontal slit in one of the wide sides of each chop but do not cut completely through to any of the other sides.
- Use the knife, your finger, or the handle portion of a wooden spoon to expand the void in the chop as large as possible.
- The goal is to make a pocket for the cheese (picture a coin purse, where only the top is open).
- Use as much of the cheese as is necessary to fill the pocket.
- Secure with toothpicks in such a way that the chops will still lay levelly in a pan.
- Heat olive oil in a saute pan.
- Make several slices through the garlic yet keeping each clove intact.
- Fry in the oil till brown but not burned, then remove from pan.
- Season chops with salt, pepper, and thyme.
- Brown the chops in the oil on each side.
- The cheese will probably begin to melt and leak from the chop, but don't worry about this.
- When chops are well browned, add the wine (as much as necessary to come about halfway up the sides of the chops) to the saute pan, cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until they are cooked through.
- Remove them from pan directly to dinner plate.
- Stir the cheese that has leaked out from the chops well into the wine and cooking juices, still over the heat, until you have a well-incorporated sauce.
- This should only take a moment.
- Serve sauce over the chops immediately, and enjoy.

BLUE CHEESE STUFFED PORK CHOPS
These are quite delicious. You need to have chops at least 1 inch in thickness. You can also a use a frenched rack of pork. I have made it with two thin chops toothpicked together but the presentation is not as nice. My family really liked these, and they are quite presentable for company. Also they are fairly simple to make.

BLUE CHEESE-STUFFED PORK CHOPS FOR TWO
In this updated take on bacon-wrapped pork chops, prosciutto--an unsmoked Italian-style ham--replaces the bacon and holds in a creamy Gorgonzola filling. If you can't find prosciutto, substitute thin slices of deli ham or bacon. Pair the chops with Balsamic Greens with Plums (recipe follows).
