Steps

1

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large saucepan over medium heat.
2

Add garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, 1 minute.
3

Add spinach, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and the Italian seasoning; cook, stirring, just until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
4

Remove the spinach mixture to a medium-size bowl; let cool completely.
5

When cool, add the ham, cheese and egg; gently stir to combine completely.
6

Place the pork chops on a flat work surface; cut a slit horizontally to the bone so chop can be opened like a book.
7

Stuff each chop with 1/4 of the stuffing. (If freezing, wrap each chop tightly in freezer wrap, without toothpicks; freeze up to 1 month.)
8

Secure chops with toothpicks.
9

Preheat oven to 375°F
10

Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet.
11

Add chops; cook 2 minutes per side or until browned.
12

Place chops in single layer in a baking dish just large enough to hold them.
13

Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
14

Bake the chops in the oven for 15 minutes or until the internal temperature registers 155?F on an instant-read thermometer when inserted in the pork.
15

Remove chops to a platter; cover with foil.
16

Let stand 5 to 10 minutes in warm place before serving.
