Gouda and Spinach Stuffed Pork Chops *

Cooking Spray
4 (6 oz) thick cut pork chops
1/2 pound fresh spinach, washed and torn into bite size pieces
8 slices smoked Gouda cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
3 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Creole seasoning to taste

Preheat the oven to 400.  Coat a 13x9 dish with cooking spray.  Lay each chop flat on a cutting board, and with a sharp knife held parallel to the board, cut a pocket in the chop, leaving three sides intact.  Stuff each chop with spinach, then with cheese.  Put bread crumbs in a shallow dish.  Coat each chop with a thin layer of mustard, then roll in crumbs.  Arrange chops in prepared baking dish.  Sprinkle with Creole seasoning to taste.  Lightly spray the pork chops with cooking spray.  Bake for 45 minutes or until brown and crispy.
