Instructions
- 1 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- 2 Mix feta, pesto, and pine nuts in a bowl. Cut a 3-inch slit in the side of each pork chop, using the tip of a sharp knife, about 2 inches deep and 1/4-inch away from bone. Stuff pork chops with feta-pesto filling and secure with toothpicks.
- 3 Mix black pepper, oregano, garlic, red pepper flakes, and thyme in a small bowl; rub onto both sides of each chop. Place chops into a shallow baking dish.
- 4 Bake in the preheated oven until chops are golden, about 40 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of the stuffing should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Brush chops with balsamic vinegar and bake until vinegar forms a glaze, 5 minutes more.
