6 oz of cream cheese170 g of cream cheese
0 of salt

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the spinach and cook until wilted.
Add the cream cheese and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
Make a slit on the side of each pork chop to make a pocket, but do not cut all the way through.
Fill the pork chops with the spinach mixture. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Working in batches, sear the pork chops until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to a baking sheet.
Bake the pork chops for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
