Italian-Style Grilled Pork Chops
Ingredients
  • 4 (3/4 inch thick) pork chops
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 slices ham
  • 4 slices tomato
  • 4 slices mozzarella cheese
  • chopped fresh oregano to taste
  • paprika to taste
Instructions
1
Preheat the outdoor grill to a medium heat setting, ensuring it reaches the optimal temperature. Next, lightly brush the grill grate with oil to prevent food from sticking.
2
Season the pork chops liberally with salt and black pepper, taking care to evenly distribute the seasonings. Place the seasoned pork chops on the grill and cook until they develop a rich brown color, display visible grill marks, and reach an internal temperature of at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), flipping them every 5 to 8 minutes on each side.
3
While the pork chops are cooking, prepare a topping by layering ham slices, tomato pieces, and melted mozzarella cheese on each chop. Sprinkle the top with dried oregano and paprika for added flavor. Continue to grill the pork chops until the cheese has melted, approximately 2 minutes more.
4
Once cooked, remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
