A winner with kids and very easy to prepare. I am using Swiss cheese in my recipe, but you can switch it by Provolone, American, Gruyere or any other type of cheese you like. Even when we call it "libritos" (little books) it is a type of pork cordon bleu. It can be served with a side of crunchy french fries or glazed little carrots.
Ingredients:
* 2 boneless pork chops
* 4 thin slices of Swiss cheese
* 2 thin slices of any type of ham you like
* 1/2 cup of bread crumbs
* 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
* 1 egg
* Salt
* Black pepper
* Olive oil
* 4 toothpicks
Butterfly the pork chops with a sharp knife (slit the meat halfway through the thickness, almost cutting it through but don't cut it completely, stop when you can "open" the meat like a book). Inside the pork chop, lay one piece of cheese, one piece of ham, another piece of cheese, close the meat and secure it with a pair of toothpicks. Beat the egg in a shallow plate and in another plate mix the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Season the pork with salt and pepper, dip it in egg and roll it in crumbs, covering it well. Heat the oil in a pan and when it is very hot, put the pork chops in the pan and lower the heat to medium low. Fry the pork until it looks golden and crunchy. Remember to remove the toothpicks before eating! :o)
Preparation time: 30 minutes
