Default So good I probably shouldn't be sharing...

I made Gorgonzola pork chops last night and they are delicious.

1 Tbsp. butter
1 apples, peeled, cored, and finely diced
1 Tsp. Thyme
1/4 c. crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
4 pork chops (1 1/2 inches thick)
Salt and pepper

1. Melt the butter of medium-high heat.
2. Add the apple and thyme to the butter and cook until soft (3-4 minutes).
3. Remove the apple from heat and put it in a small bowl w/ the Gorgonzola crumbles.
4. Using a thin-bladed knife to cut a pocket into the middle of the pork chops (don't cut completely through)
5. Liberally salt and pepper each side of the pork chop.
6. Stuff with the Gorgonzola/apple mixture. Don't overstuff or it'll all spill out.
7. You can either broil it on each side for 4-5 minutes or sautee covered over medium meat for 4-5 minutes each side. (I'm sure these would be amazing grilled, too, but I never have.)

Serve with Gorgonzola sauce (optional)
1 1/2 tsp. butter
2 garlic cloves
3/4 c. chicken stock
2 Tbsp. cream
1/2 c. crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 tsp. black pepper (though, I prefer a lot more)
1 Tbsp. chopped Italian parsley

1. Cook butter and garlic in saute pan on med-high heat for 1-2 minutes
2. Add chicken stock, cream, Gorgonzola, and pepper and boil 10 minutes
3. Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley.
4. Spoon warm on top of Gorgonzola pork chops.

Sounds fantastic. I'll give it a whirl sometime. Have you tried substituting with bleu cheese?

Well, Gorgonzola is technically a form of Italian blue cheese, so I guess you could say that I've used bleu cheese. As far as using a Roquefort or other strong French bleu, no, I haven't but I imagine it would work well.
