Ingredients

• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 4 slices ham
• paprika to taste
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese
• 4 slices tomato
• 4 (3/4 inch thick) pork chops
• chopped fresh oregano to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Step 2

Sprinkle pork chops with salt and black pepper, and grill until the chops are browned, show good grill marks, and are no longer pink in the middle, 5 to 8 minutes per side. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the center of a chop should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Step 3

Place ham, tomato, and mozzarella cheese slices on each pork chop, and sprinkle with oregano and paprika; cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 more minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
