Yield:
1 2-pound pork roast

Ingredients

  • 2 ¼ pounds bone-in pork loin chops

  • 3 tomatoes, sliced

  • 2 onions, sliced

  • ¾ cup shredded Gouda cheese

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

  • 3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Cut pork into 1/4-inch slices lengthwise, stopping 1/2-inch from the bottom, so it can fan out like a book. Stuff tomatoes, onion, and Gouda cheese in between the slices.

  3. Combine garlic and salt in a bowl, then stir in mustard and pepper. Spread mixture all over the pork. Press pork slices firmly together and wrap in aluminum foil.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until nicely browned, about 30 minutes more.

Cook's Notes:

Use any cut of pork that's good for roasting.

Use any cheese you prefer.
