This glazed and stuffed pork tenderloin recipe is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender pork with a savory stuffing and a sweet and tangy glaze. The tenderloin is stuffed with a mixture of breadcrumbs, herbs, and cheese, then roasted to perfection. The glaze, made with honey, mustard, and garlic, adds a deliciously sticky coating to the meat. Serve this impressive dish for a special occasion or a family dinner, and watch it disappear.

Ingredients

  • 2 pork tenderloins (about 1 pound each)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, and parsley)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking dish with aluminum foil.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and chopped herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Using a sharp knife, butterfly the pork tenderloins by making a lengthwise cut down the center of each tenderloin, stopping about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Open the tenderloins like a book.
  4. Divide the breadcrumb mixture between the two tenderloins, spreading it evenly over the surface. Press the tenderloin halves back together.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic to make the glaze.
  6. Place the stuffed pork tenderloins in the prepared baking dish and brush the glaze over the top of each tenderloin.
  7. Roast the tenderloins in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove the tenderloins from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. Slice the glazed and stuffed pork tenderloins into thick slices and serve with the remaining glaze on the side.
