Prosciutto Stuffed Pork Tenderloin

Ingredients

Pork tenderloin

1 (about 1.5 pounds)

Prosciutto

6-8 slices

Fresh spinach

2 cups, cooked and chopped

Mozzarella cheese

1 cup, shredded

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

1 teaspoon, to taste

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, to taste

Garlic powder

1 teaspoon

Kitchen twine or toothpicks

as needed, for securing the roll

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Butterfly the pork tenderloin by making a lengthwise cut down the center, ensuring not to cut all the way through. Open it up and flatten it using a meat mallet for even cooking.
3. Layer the prosciutto slices evenly over the flattened pork, followed by the cooked spinach and shredded mozzarella cheese.
4. Sprinkle the filling with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavors.
5. Carefully roll up the pork tenderloin tightly, starting from one end. Secure the roll with kitchen twine or toothpicks to hold the stuffing inside.
6. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear the stuffed pork tenderloin on all sides until browned (about 3-4 minutes per side).
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
8. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven and let the pork tenderloin rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
9. Slice the stuffed pork tenderloin into medallions and serve with your favorite side dishes.
