For best results, use high-quality ingredients, especially the ham and mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella is preferred for its creamy texture and delicate flavor. Don't overcrowd the grill. Grill the pork chops in batches if necessary to ensure even cooking and a good sear. To prevent the cheese from melting too quickly, you can place a small piece of aluminum foil loosely over the chops during the last minute of grilling. Serve these grilled Italian pork chops with a side of roasted vegetables, a simple salad, or a crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.

01 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Grill: Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C). Clean the grill grates and lightly oil them to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Season the Pork Chops: Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels. This helps to achieve a beautiful sear. Season generously on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Grill the Pork Chops: Place the seasoned pork chops on the preheated grill. Grill for 4-6 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer. (8-12 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Add the Toppings: Once the pork chops are cooked through, place a slice of Italian ham, a slice of tomato, and a slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each chop. Sprinkle with fresh oregano and paprika. (2 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View Melt the Cheese: Close the grill lid and continue grilling for another 1-2 minutes, or until the mozzarella cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning. (2 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View Rest and Serve: Remove the grilled Italian pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. (5 minutes)
