Steps:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion, mushrooms, and thyme; season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned, 10 to 12 minutes. Add spinach; cook 2 minutes more. Add vinegar and 1/3 cup cream. Cook, scraping browned bits from bottom of skillet, 1 minute. Let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut a slit down length of each tenderloin, deep enough to reach center, and season with salt. Pack mushroom mixture evenly into slits, then reshape tenderloins into logs with your hands, enclosing filling as much as possible.
- Unfold pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to an approximately 13-inch square; cut in half. Starting at one short end of each piece, score diagonal lines, 1 inch apart, with a sharp knife or pizza wheel (do not cut all the way through). Score in other direction, creating a crosshatch pattern. Transfer both doughs to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, scored-sides down (if they become too soft, chill briefly). Divide prosciutto evenly between doughs, overlapping to fit and leaving 1-inch borders of dough. Center a tenderloin on top of each dough, stuffed-sides down. Whisk egg with 1 teaspoon water; brush borders with egg wash. Lift long sides of each dough up and over pork, stretching slightly as necessary until edges meet; pinch edges to seal. Fold short sides up over pork and flip so seams face down. Brush all over with egg wash; cut a few 1-inch vents in tops. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Bake until pastry is puffed and golden brown and a thermometer inserted into centers of pork registers 140 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer Wellingtons to a wire rack; let cool 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together mustard, remaining 1/3 cup cream, and 2 tablespoons water; season with salt and pepper. Slice Wellingtons into 2-inch rounds and serve with mustard sauce.

Steps:
- Trim the tenderloin and remove a bit of the tail part where it is thinner. Cut the tenderloin in half. Butterfly each piece lengthwise about 1/2-inch, then do the same the opposite way. This will give you two flat pieces.
- Lay half the spinach on each piece of meat. Add half the hazelnuts,then half the blueberries to each piece; then split the cream cheese in two and with your hand; make flat discs to place on top of the ingredients. Then roll tenderloin back up nice and tight without losing any of the stuffing.
- Rub Dijon mustard on the outside; sprinkle with salt and pepper. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and sear the tenderloins for two minutes on each side.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated 350F oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes, cut 4 times on the bias and serve.
- This dish can be accompanied with a warmed blueberry jam.
Tips:
- Choose the right pork loin: Look for a pork loin that is evenly thick and has a good amount of marbling. This will ensure that the pork loin cooks evenly and stays moist.
- Prepare the spinach stuffing ahead of time: This will save you time when you're ready to assemble the pork loin. You can make the stuffing up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
- Don't overcook the pork loin: Pork loin is a lean cut of meat, so it's important to cook it carefully to avoid drying it out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the pork loin reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the pork loin rest before carving: This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful pork loin.
- Serve the pork loin with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for pork loin include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and green beans.
Conclusion:
Pork loin with spinach stuffing is a delicious and easy-to-make main course that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender pork loin, flavorful spinach stuffing, and crispy outer crust, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
