Original recipe (1X) yields 3 servings

¼ cup cream cheese, softened
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
2 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
2 green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons pesto sauce
¼ clove garlic, minced
1 pinch dried parsley
1 pork tenderloin, butterflied and pounded flat
salt and ground black pepper, to taste
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup white wine
½ cube chicken bouillon
½ cup heavy whipping cream

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
Combine cream cheese, Cheddar cheese, bacon, green onions, pesto sauce, garlic, and parsley in a bowl; set aside.
Lay pork tenderloin on a flat work surface; spread cheese mixture on one side of tenderloin. Roll tenderloin, like a jelly roll, around filling; season with salt and black pepper.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add tenderloin; cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the prepared baking dish; reserve drippings in skillet.
Bake in the preheated oven until pork is no longer pink in the center, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).
Place skillet with drippings over medium-high heat. Add white wine and bouillon, bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, then add cream; stir until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Pour sauce over tenderloin.
