Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (3/4 pound)
  • 1/3 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese

  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Dash cayenne pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted

Directions

  • Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the roast to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open roast so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 1/2-in. thickness. Remove wrap; sprinkle with cheese, apricots, thyme, garlic, salt, pepper and cayenne.
  • Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long end. Tie at 1-1/2-inch to 2-inch intervals with kitchen string; secure ends with toothpicks. Transfer to an 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Brush tenderloin with butter. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Yield: 2 servings.

This was wonderful and the presentation was great. This has become a regular in my rotation of meals. Fancy enough for company or a nice romatic meal.

This recipe lacks one thing, that is the recipe for the sweet and sour salad dressing. I cannot find it in any of our stores so I made my own recipe. I found this was a very tender, tasty and easy to make recipe. It took only 40 - 45 minutes to cook.

My family loved this tenderloing recipe.

I will definitely make it again.

Sincerely
