Pesto And Cheese Stuffed Pork Tenderloin - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
    1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
    2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
    2 green onions, chopped
    2 tablespoons pesto sauce
    1/4 clove garlic, minced
    1 pinch dried parsley
    1 pork tenderloin, butterflied and pounded flat
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    5 tablespoons butter
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/2 cube chicken bouillon
    1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
    Mix cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, pesto sauce, garlic, and parsley together in a bowl. Lay pork tenderloin on a flat work surface and spread cheese mixture on one side of the meat. Roll tenderloin around the filling like a jellyroll. Season meat with salt and black pepper.
    Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place rolled pork tenderloin in hot butter and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer tenderloin to the prepared baking dish, reserving drippings in skillet.
    Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
    Place the skillet with reserved drippings over medium-high heat. Pour in white wine and bouillon, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and add cream; stir until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over tenderloin.
