In the same skillet add 3 more teaspoons of butter, mushrooms, shallots, garlic and rosemary - saute for about 5 minutes. Deglaze with Sauvignon Blanc. Add to bread mixture in mixing bowl and cool the contents.
When mixture is cool, add the roquefort cheese, salt and pepper. Mix well. Stuff each chop with an equal portion of stuffing mixture. Using a toothpick, secure the opening closed.
