Pork Chops with Blue Cheese Stuffing

• 1 sweet apple such as Golden Delicious, peeled and finely diced
• 3 oz (85g) Roquefort or Stilton, crumbled
• 1/3 cup chopped pecans
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 4 center cut pork loin chops
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Wooden toothpicks

1. Combine the stuffing ingredients and set aside.
2. Trim the excess fat from the pork chops.
3. With a small sharp knife, make a horizontal slit through the fat side of each chop, cutting through the meat almost to the bone to make a pocket.
4. Divide the stuffing evenly among the chops, tucking it firmly into the pockets.
5. Secure with wooden toothpicks.
6. Preheat the broiler.
7. Place the pork chops on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
8. Broil for 68 minutes on each side, depending on thickness, or until golden brown and the juices run clear.
9. Remove the toothpicks and serve.
