Ingredients
1.5 pounds boneless pork chops, salted and peppered1 egg white, lightly beaten1/2 c. Italian-style bread crumbs2 medium sized tomatoes, seeded and diced1 T red wine vinegar2 pinches sea salt (or regular salt)4 oz. fresh mozzarella (ball-style)16 basil leaves1 bunch fresh spinach, chopped2 t olive oil2 t chopped garlic (2 cloves)
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Salt and pepper pork chops, then dip in the egg white. Coat in the bread crumbs. Place in a baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix diced tomatoes with the vinegar and sea salt. Set aside.

When pork chops are done, divide the mozzarella among the chops. Let it sit--the cheese will start to melt on the chops.

Heat a large skillet to medium. Add 2 t. olive oil, then the garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add the spinach and quickly toss to coat the spinach in the oil. Let the spinach wilt but don't let it get too mushy. Salt and pepper to taste.

To serve, divide the spinach among 4 plates. Place the chops on top. Roll the basil leaves and slice them into ribbons. Top the chops with the basil, then distribute the tomato mixture right on top.

Makes 4 servings.
