Cheese-Stuffed Pork Roast Recipe

Prep: 30 min. Bake: 40 min.

Yield: 8-10 Servings

30 40 70

Ingredients

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded Swiss cheese
1 boneless pork loin roast (2 to 2-1/2 pounds), trimmed
6 ounces thinly sliced deli ham
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon each dried marjoram, oregano and basil
CREAM SAUCE:
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon sour cream
Salt to taste

Directions

In a bowl, combine the flour, lemon-pepper, butter and cream until smooth. Stir in the cheese; set aside. Cut a lengthwise slit down the center of the roast to within 1/2-in. of the bottom. Open roast so it lies flat; cover with plastic wrap. Flatten to 3/4-in. thickness.
Remove plastic; place ham slices over roast. Spread cheese mixture lengthwise down the center of one side of roast to within 1-1/2 in of ends. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with the long side with cheese filling. Tie several times with kitchen string; secure ends with toothpicks.
Combine paprika, marjoram, oregano and basil; rub over roast. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes hours or until a thermometer reads 145°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.
Meanwhile, in a skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in the cornstarch until blended. Whisk in cream and broth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in sour cream and salt. Slice roast; serve with cream sauce. Yield: 8-10 servings.

I love the flavors in this recipe. Served it to my family, and it was a huge hit. I question the picture on how the cheese is still in the roast, mine melted out.
