Pork Wellington - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 (6 ounce) pork tenderloin
    4 ounces boursin cheese
    1 tablespoon olive oil
    6 ounces prosciutto (3 oz per tenderloin)
    2 sheets puff pastry, rolled to a 16 x 12 inch rectangle
    1 egg, beaten with
    1 tablespoon water
Preparation
    Trim off all silverskin (reserve tail for another use if you have it). Butterfly making a 1\" deep incision down the length of each and stuff each one with half of the cheese.
    Roll prosciutto around each tenderloin.
    Sear in oil in a large skillet over med-high heat until prosciutto is brown and crisp on all sides (5-8 minutes).
    Chill thoroughly.
    Wrap each tenderloin in puff pastry and transfer to a parchment-line baking sheet.
    Brush Wellingtons with egg wash and decorate with pastry cutouts if desired.
    Cover with plastic and chill 1 hr (up to 24 hrs).
    Bake at 400\u00b0F in lower third of oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown. (You can brush with more egg wash again before you put them in the oven)
    Let rest 5 minutes before slicing. (Throw away the ends when slicing, it's mostly dough).
