1/4 cup water
1/4 cup low-fat cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Trim the fat on the pork chops and then carefully butterfly your pork chops. (simply pierce the longer side of the pork chop and slice all the way through leaving a flap of skin attached) Or get your butcher to do it.
Cook the bacon and place on paper towels to drain then chop into 1/2 pieces.

Season the pork chops with sage, salt, and black pepper.
Carefully stuff the chops with the stuffing mixture reserving the remaining stuffing mixture.
Place the chops in a heated frying pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Brown both sides of the chops, turning carefully to prevent the stuffing from falling out.
