Ingredients

1 pork tenderloin (3/4 to 1 pound)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon rubbed sage
1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 bacon strip

Directions

Make a lengthwise slit about three-fourths of the way through tenderloin; open tenderloin so it lies flat. Flatten to 1/4-in. thickness; set aside.
In a small skillet, saute onion in butter until tender. Add bread crumbs; saute until crumbs are golden brown. Remove from the heat. Stir in the parsley, sage, rosemary, salt, pepper and enough egg to moisten the ingredients.
Spread stuffing on 1 long side of tenderloin to within 1/4 in. of edges. Close meat and place bacon on top; tie with kitchen string. Place on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

Soft Bread Crumbs

To make soft bread crumbs, tear bread into pieces and place in a food processor or blender. Cover and pulse until crumbs form. One slice of bread yields 1/2 to 3/4 cup crumbs.
