Italian Stuffed Pork Loin with Cream Cheese

Total Time: 35 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cut: Loin Roast
Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 pork loin
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 oz cream cheese reduced fat
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes oil packed, julienned, drained and chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach leaves fresh
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Cut pork loin lengthwise, cutting mostly to the other side but not all the way through. Lay plastic wrap over the top and pound with a meat tenderizer until 1/2 inch thick.
  • Sprinkle Italian seasoning over entire loin. On half of the pork loin (lengthwise), spread the cream cheese. Top with sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, and spinach leaves. To prevent over-stuffing, only place these ingredients on half of the loin.
  • Lengthwise, starting from the cream cheese filled side, roll the pork loin up and secure with 3-4 strands of kitchen twine.
  • Place rolled loin seam-side up on an edged baking sheet lined with foil. Sprinkle fresh thyme, salt and pepper on top of the rolled loin.
  • Roast loin, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes until internal temperature is 145°F. Rest for three minutes and remove twine. Slice pork loin into 1-inch-thick pieces and serve.
