Parmesan Spinach Stuffed Pork Loin

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375°F

Step 2

Cut pork loin almost in half, leaving about ¼-inch remaining intact. Lay the pork loin open.

Step 3

Starting from the center, cut each side almost in half again. It is easier than it sounds, just use a sharp knife and go slow. Open the pork loin up and pound out any high spots.

Step 4

Squeeze the liquid out of the thawed spinach. Mix it with cream cheese, garlic, green onions, Parmesan and pepper.

Step 5

Spread over pork loin.

Step 6

Roll the pork loin tightly.

Step 7

Heat an oven proof pan and oil on the stove. I used my Dutch oven, but any large pan would do.

Step 8

Sprinkle with salt and pepper on pork loin, then brown on both sides.

Step 9

Cover and roast in a 375° F oven for about an hour or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145° F.

Step 10

Let rest for at least 10 minutes and then slice. It smells so good it will be hard to wait, but it is worth it!
