Ingredients
- 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound)
- 6-8 slices of bacon
- 1 cup of spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup of cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup of feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped spinach, cream cheese, feta cheese, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully butterfly the pork tenderloin lengthwise, making sure not to cut all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling.
- Spread the spinach and cheese mixture evenly inside the pork pocket.
- Wrap the bacon slices around the stuffed pork tenderloin, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
- Place the wrapped tenderloin in a baking dish, drizzle with olive oil, and season with additional salt and pepper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Once cooked, let it rest for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This will ensure that all the juices stay locked in.
Serve your Stuffed Pork Tenderloin with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad, and watch as everyone digs in with glee. It’s sure to become a favorite recipe cherished by all. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
