Equipment

  • Roasting Pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 lb pork loin
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 3 garlic cloves, grated
  • 6 oz gorgonzola or blue cheese
  • 8 oz cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 pear, quartered and cut into slices
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp grated parmesan

Instructions
 

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pork loin crosswise both ways about 1 inch deep. Pour the olive oil over the pork loin, sprinkle the salt, pepper, and garlic on top, and massage it into the meat. Let the meat marinate for about 2 hours, or preferably overnight.
  • Quarter the pear and remove the core, then cut the quarters into slices and set them aside. Add the cream cheese, gorgonzola, honey, chopped walnuts, and cheddar cheese to a bowl and mix everything until combined.
  • Spoon the mixture into the cuts in the marinated meat.
  • Stick the pear slices diagonally into the cuts. Transfer the meat to a roasting pan, put it in a preheated oven set to 325°F, and cook for about 105 minutes.
  • For the crunchy topping, add the bread crumbs, rosemary, thyme, olive oil, and parmesan to a bowl and mix until combined. Sprinkle the topping on top of the pork roast after about 90 minutes in the oven.
