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 3/4", 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 140 degrees.

Remove roast from the oven, cover with foil, and let rest 20 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.

What To Serve With Pork Loin

If you having a dinner or holiday party, below is my suggestion for an easy menu. Much of the menu can be prepared ahead of time, making dinner much simpler!

To make pan-roasted veggies: cut up potatoes, onions, carrots. Vegetables should be about 1" to 1-1/2" in size. Toss with olive, kosher salt, and pepper. Scatter the vegetables around the base of the roasting pork loin approximately 30 minutes prior to when the roast will be done. When the roast is done remove from pan, tent with foil, and place vegetables back in the oven and turn the heat up to 425 degrees F. Continue roasting vegetables until they are done (approximately 15 to 20 more minutes).
