To Prepare Pork

- Top each pork chop with 1 sage leaf and about 1 tablespoon cheese.
- Fold chops in half to sandwich filling, and secure with wooden picks.
- Sprinkle both sides of chops with pepper and 1/8 teaspoon salt.

- Add chops; cook 3 minutes on each side or until done.
- Remove from pan; cover and keep warm in a 350 degree heated oven.

- Add 1 cup broth; bring to a boil.
- Cook until reduced to 1/2 cup (about 5 minutes).
