Ingredients

6 servings

•

olive oil, to taste
•

¼ cup small diced white onion
•

2 cloves garlic, minced
•

7 oz fresh spinach
•

6 oz cream cheese, cubed

•

salt, to taste
•

pepper, to taste

6 thick-cut pork chops

mashed potato, for serving

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
Make a slit on the side of each pork chop to make a pocket, but do not cut all the way through.
Fill the pork chops with the spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the pork chops until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake the pork chops for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve the pork chops with mashed potatoes.
Enjoy!
