What You'll Need To Make Cordon Bleu Stuffed Pork Loin

Tools

• Chef's knife
• cutting board
• roasting pan with rack
• kitchen twine
• kitchen scissors
• cheese grater
• instant-read thermometer
• measuring spoons
• drainer

Ingredients - Stuffed Pork Loin

• (1) 3 to 4 lb boneless pork loin roast
• ½ pkg frozen chopped spinach, chopped and squeeze dried
• 8 oz swiss cheese, shredded
• 6 oz of deli ham slices
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tsp. herbs de Provence
• kosher salt (my favorite!)

How To Make Cordon Bleu Stuffed Pork Loin

Step One | Prep Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut (6) 12" pieces of kitchen twine.

 Step Two | Butterfly Roast

Slice a 1" diagonal slice lengthwise into the pork loin. From there continue slicing in 1" slices parallel with the countertop. As you go, the thickness of the pork loin should be about ¾", give or take. It will not be perfect so don't worry! Continue making slices, rolling roast out flat while you go until you get to the end. You should end up with a rectangle shape, flat roast. If you have any thicker parts go ahead and slice into the thicker parts at an angle to help you flatten it out more.

Not the prettiest picture below, it looks a bit like I took a hatchet to it -  but you get the idea! 🙂

Step Three | Stuff Roast

Rub olive oil and generously salt and pepper both sides of pork loin.

Turn sliced side up and lay ham slices overlapping slightly.

Sprinkle spinach over the top

Sprinkle cheese and 1 tsp of the herbs de Provence.

Step Four | Tie Roast

Cut twine into 6 12" pieces. Carefully and firmly begin rolling roast, tucking ingredients back in as you go along. End with the seam side down. With the twine, tie 6 even pieces, firmly tying each piece into a knot. Sprinkle outside of roast with remaining herbs de Provence.

Step Five | Roast the Pork

Place pork loin in a roasting pan and bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes per pound until the center reaches 160 degrees (medium).

Tip: use a thermometer that you can set an alarm to go off when 160 degrees is reached. This one is wireless and will let you know when the roast is done!

Remove roast from the oven, cover with foil, and let stand 15 minutes before serving.

Cut into slices and serve with optional cordon bleu sauce (easy recipe below!)

 

How To Make The Creamy Cordon Bleu Sauce

Creamy cordon bleu sauce can be made ahead of time and warmed when ready. This sauce is great on eggs, chicken, and fish!

Whisk together all ingredients in a small bowl or saucepan.

Heat on low until you are ready to serve roast. Or, you can store in an airtight container and reheat when ready to serve roast the next day.

Common Questions!

| How can I tell if stuffed pork loin is done?

A stuffed pork loin is done with the temperature reaches 160 degrees F in the center. Using a programmable thermometer or an instant-read thermometer is the easiest way to check the temperature.

Yes, you can stuff a pork roast the night before. This is super helpful if you are cooking dinner for a crowd. Follow steps one through four for making this roast Cover roast and keep in the refrigerator. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting.

| How do I cook A stuffed pork loin?

This roasting time varies with how much stuffing is used and how many pounds the roast is. I would use the time as a guide, but use a thermometer to make sure of the correct temperature.

| What temperature should pork tenderloin be?

Pork tenderloin should be cooked to 160 degrees F.

| How Do You Reheat Pork Tenderloin?

You can reheat pork tenderloin a few slices at a time in the microwave if you wish. I use a covered microwave-safe dish, then cook for about 1-½ minutes on the reheat setting. If you have any chicken broth or juices leftover from the roast you can put a little in your dish to preserve moisture.

You can also reheat your roast in the oven. Set oven on 300 degrees F., set roast in a baking dish and tightly cover with foil. Heat until warm. Be careful not to cook too long!
