Prosciutto and Pesto Crusted Pork Tenderloin – Only 4 Ingredients!

I love how easy and fancy this is – such a delicious show stopper.

Ingredients

• 1 pork tenderloin (about 1 lb)
• 1 small jar of pesto (about 3 oz)
• 3 oz prosciutto
• 1 tsp olive oil

Tools

• Baking sheet
• Aluminum foil
• Tongs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees
2. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with olive oil.
3. Lay out the prosciutto overlapping slightly across the sheet.  Spread 2 tbsp of pesto down the center of the prosciutto lengthwise.  Place the pork tenderloin on top.  Cover the top and sides of the tenderloin with the remaining 4 tbsp of pesto.  Gently pull the ends of the prosciutto together and overlap.  Turn the tenderloin over so that the overlapping prosciutto is underneath.  If there’s a skinny end, tuck it under.
4. Bake the tenderloin for 20-25 minutes (takes 20 for a 1lb loin).  Cover in aluminum foil and rest for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.  Enjoy!
