Ingredients

4 boneless pork loin chops (5 to 6 ounces each)

Coarse salt and ground pepper

2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves

4 slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces total)

2 teaspoons olive oil

Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Preparation

Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Sprinkle thyme leaves over each, pressing, to help them adhere to the meat. Wrap 1 prosciutto slice around middle of each chop, like a belt; press ends to seal.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Cook chops until golden brown and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side. (Cook in two batches, if necessary, to avoid crowding.) Serve chops with lemon wedges, if desired.
