Time 2h10m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 13

¼ cup cream cheese, softened
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
¼ clove garlic, minced
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pork tenderloin, butterflied and pounded flat
salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 tablespoons butter
½ cup white wine
½ cube chicken bouillon
½ cup heavy whipping cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
  • Mix cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, pesto sauce, garlic, and parsley together in a bowl. Lay pork tenderloin on a flat work surface and spread cheese mixture on one side of the meat. Roll tenderloin around the filling like a jellyroll. Season meat with salt and black pepper.
