🍽️ Serves: 4-6
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 large pork tenderloin
- 8-10 slices bacon
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/3 cup roasted red peppers, chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt

- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F / 200°C.
2. Butterfly the pork tenderloin by slicing lengthwise, then open it flat. Pound gently to even thickness.
3. Mix cream cheese, mozzarella, roasted peppers, spinach, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
4. Spread filling over pork, then roll tightly.
5. Wrap bacon around the pork, slightly overlapping each slice.
6. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.
7. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
8. Bake 25-30 minutes, or until pork reaches 145°F / 63°C.

✨ Pro Tip: Resting before slicing keeps the cheese filling creamy and the pork juicy.
