Ingredients
- olive oil
- 3 lices prosciutto
- salt & pepper
- 6 pork loin chops v
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cut into thin slices
- 2-3 large tomatoes chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet, then add the prosciutto.
- Cook until the prosciutto is crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Season the pork chops with salt and pepper, then cook, flipping, until golden brown and cooked through (140F). This should take only 3 minutes per side, but will depend on thickness of chops.
- Remove the pork and top with mozzarella slices - keep warm in tented tinfoil, or place in the oven under "warm" temperature.
- In the same skillet, add the garlic, tomatoes and cook until tomatoes begin to soften, scraping the skillet to get up all the delicious brown bits.
- Add the arugula, and toss until the arugula wilts. Season with a little salt and pepper.
- Add the balsamic vinegar and cook 1 more minute.
To Serve
- Place a pork chop on each plate, and top with the prosciutto. Add the tomato/arugula mixture over the top.
- Devour.
Notes
- Substitutions & Additions
- Spice it up with some Italian seasoning instead of just salt and pepper
- Add some sautéed red peppers with the tomatoes;
- Parmesan cheese is ALWAYS a good idea to sprinkle over the top
- You can also coat the pork chops in bread crumbs if you would like. Just add breadcrumbs to a small bowl, and dip pork chops in egg, then breadcrumbs. Easy, right?
- What temperature should I cook pork chops to? I cook pork to an internal temperature of 145 degrees F. Then rest for 5 minutes before slicing/serving.
