How to Make Bacon Blue Cheese Stuffed Pork Loin
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the stuffing: In a medium bowl, combine 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Gently mix until well combined.
- Butterfly the pork loin: Using a sharp knife, carefully slice the pork loin lengthwise, almost all the way through, creating a pocket. Do this twice, once down the center, and once on each side creating 3 layers.
- Spread the stuffing evenly over the loin's interior.
- Layer 4-6 slices of cooked bacon evenly over the stuffing.
- Roll the loin tightly like a jelly roll. Secure at 2-3 inch intervals using kitchen twine.
- Place the rolled loin in a shallow roasting pan.
- Sprinkle generously with garlic salt and black pepper.
- Roast for 45-60 minutes, or until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 150-155°F (66-68°C). Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Remove the twine and slice the pork loin into thick medallions. Serve immediately and enjoy!
