Love this recipe! I didn't use the oil or the wine, and it came out fine without the added calories. I cut the chops to bite size pieces to make it more kid friendly and served it over egg noodes. Made steamed broccoli on the side, and we were at the table in 30min. I would have rated it a 4, but when my hubbie and kids asked for seconds, it got all 5 stars!

Considering that this is the FOURTH year in a row that my co-workers beg me to make this for the company Christmas party, I thought it was high time that I gave kudos to this recipe. I make the 'base' recipe and change the type of cheese and the ingredient that it's rolled in, and I can get 3 different flavored cheese logs/balls. Add some summer sausage and crackers, and it makes a beautiful presentation. I make them the night before, so I cut the amount of spices in half. If I don't, the spices become way too overpowering by the next day.
