Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 Smithfield Applewood Smoked Bacon Marinated Fresh Pork Loin Filet
  • 8-10 slices Smithfield Bacon, not thick-cut
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Sear pork loin in a hot skillet with a little vegetable oil over medium-high heat until browned on all sides. Cut a large slit lengthwise into pork loin, taking care not to cut all the way through. Stuff with blue cheese and hold closed.
  • Lay bacon on a large cutting board with edges slightly overlapping lengthwise. Set pork loin on bacon. Slowly roll up the pork loin and bacon until pork loin is completely covered.
  • Place bacon on a wire baking rack set over a sheet pan (cover the sheet pan in foil, if desired, for easy cleanup later). Mix together honey and vinegar, then brush about half over bacon.
  • Place in oven and cook for 20 minutes. Brush with remaining honey mixture, return to oven and cook another 5 minutes or until pork loin is cooked through.
  • Allow pork to rest 10 minutes, then slice and serve.
