Creamy Stuffed Pork Cutlets

Last Updated on

Sometimes, I just want to make a meal that’s a little bit fancier than our usual. Occasionally, I’ll reserve those fancier things for nights when Eric and I are having a special date night at home. But for the most part, those meals just become a family meal. I think the kids love eating fancier meals just as much as Eric and I do.

These pork cutlets might look a little fancier, they might taste a little richer, but honestly, the preparation is quick enough to serve any night of the week. I’m even thinking I’d like to make up a huge batch of these to have in the freezer. I’ve had mixed results with freezing cream cheese though, so I might just try a few at first and see how those work. I won’t mind experimenting at all, because these are delicious!
