Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Pork Chops

This is an explosion of flavors! I added a bit of pesto along with shredded mozzarella and some other things. Turned out pretty Awesome!

Toothpicks will be your best friend for this recipe. No, you don't have to soak toothpicks. They are already cured which makes them so great.

Start by slicing the thick cut pork chop from the edge ALMOST in 2 pieces. Do not slice all the way through.

Apply a thin layer on the inside of the chops with basil pesto. Follow the pesto with a layer of spinach leaves then shredded mozzarella cheese. Load it up with however much will fit. Once satisfied closed the chop and secure with toothpicks.
