Apple Pear And Goat Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin Food

APPLE, PEAR, AND GOAT CHEESE STUFFED PORK TENDERLOIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F.
• Butterfly pork tenderloin using the tip of a chefs knife to make a slit down the length of the pork, only cutting about halfway through. Use a meat mallet to flatten out the pork tenderloin to 1/2" in thickness.
• Rub both sides of pork with sugar shaker and sea salt.
• In a bowl mix together the chevre, apples and pears. Spread out mixture evenly over pork and roll tightly. Place pork seam side down on a baking sheet. If needed secure pork with toothpicks or cooking twine.
• Drizzle with olive oil and cook until internal temperature reaches 145F, about 25 minutes. Make sure to take the temperature of the pork and not the filing.
• Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting into slices. Garnish with rosemary if desired and serve!

• In a bowl combine cheese, basil and zest, until well mixed.
• Spoon mixture evenly over one half, remembering to leave enough of an edge, so when you fold over the other half so it covers cheese completely.
