Stuffed Pork Loin

A flavorful pork loin stuffed with a savory mixture of herbs, breadcrumbs, and cheese, perfect for a special dinner or holiday meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) boneless pork loin, butterflied
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • Kitchen twine for tying

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly the pork loin by slicing it lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through, then open it like a book and flatten with a meat mallet.
  3. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and mushrooms; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  5. Spread Dijon mustard evenly over the inside of the pork loin.
  6. Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the mustard-coated pork loin.
  7. Roll the pork loin tightly and secure with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals.
  8. Place the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan and roast in the preheated oven for 60 to 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Allowing the pork loin to rest after roasting helps retain its juices for a moist and tender result. You can customize the stuffing by adding dried cranberries or nuts for extra texture and flavor.
