Ingredients
Grass-fed butter, at room temperature
1 (1-pound) pork loin
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated organic Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1/2 tsp dried bell pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup fresh spinach leaves
1 (6- to 8-ounce) block organic garlic and herb Havarti cheese, sliced
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Grease a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with butter.
- Butterfly the pork loin by cutting it lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through, just enough to open it like a book. Liberally brush the butterflied pork loin all over with the olive oil.
- In a large bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, sesame seeds, dried bell pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Add the pork to the bowl and completely cover it inside and out with the mixture.
- Place the pork loin in the baking dish and evenly spread any remaining herb mixture from the bowl on the loin. Arrange the spinach on one side of the pork, then layer the Havarti cheese over the spinach. Close the pork loin like a book, and wrap it with silicone baking bands or kitchen twine.
- With a meat injector, inject the mustard into the pork loin at multiple points. Alternatively, just spread 1 teaspoon of mustard over the top of the pork loin.
- Roast the pork until its internal temperature reads 145°F on a meat thermometer, about 45 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
