  • Season the pork chops with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper on both sides. Use your hands to massage the salt and pepper into the meat. Set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. When the olive oil is fragrant, add the mushrooms and ½ teaspoon of salt. Sauté the mushrooms for about 15-20 minutes to draw out the moisture from the mushrooms as well as cook it off. Toss the mushrooms every 4-5 minutes.

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF and spray a standard-size casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • When there is no remaining liquid in the skillet, add the onion, garlic, and thyme to the skillet and toss. Sauté everything together for 3-4 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the heat and let the mushrooms cool for 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese to the mushrooms and mix until combined.
  • Spread about ⅓ cup of the cream cheese and mushroom filling onto one end of each pork chop. Tightly roll the mushroom filling up into the pork chop. Set aside.

  • Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before cutting into the pork.

Tips & Notes

  • Be sure to use boneless pork chops.
    If you don’t have ritz crackers you can substitute with panko or regular bread crumbs.
  • Make sure to pound the pork thin enough that it will be easy to roll.
  • Everyone likes their pork done differently, if you like your pork pink, take the pork chops out of the oven sooner.
