Step-by-step preparation:
Opening the loin: With a sharp knife, open the loin like a book, spreading it out like a blanket without cutting all the way through. If you prefer, you can ask the butcher to do it for you.
Season: Add salt, pepper, garlic, and herbs to taste to both sides of the meat.
Add the filling : Place a layer of cheese on the open surface of the pork loin, and on top of that, the bacon. You can also add spinach, peppers, or mushrooms if you want a more substantial version.
Roll up: Carefully roll up the pork loin into a cylinder. Secure it with kitchen twine or toothpicks to maintain its shape during cooking.
Sear: In a hot pan with a little olive oil, sear the loin on all sides until golden brown.
Bake: Place the pork loin on a baking tray and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until cooked through and juicy.
Rest and serve: Let the meat rest for a few minutes before slicing to prevent it from drying out. Slice and serve hot.
