- 1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 4 (7 ounce) smoked pork chops
- 2 ounces Gruyere, cut into 4 thin slices
- 1/8 tablespoon fresh-ground black pepper
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a small bowl, combine the mustard seeds and Dijon mustard. Cut a pocket, horizontally, in the side of each chop. Spread the inside of the pockets with the mustard mixture and stuff each with a slice of the cheese. Close each pocket with a toothpick or small skewer.
- Put the chops in a baking dish and sprinkle them with the pepper. Bake the chops until the cheese melts, about 15 minutes. Remove toothpicks or skewers before serving.
