    This was a great recipe. It turned out really nice. The pork actually stayed tender which is hard to accomplish. I used goat's cheese instead of provolone and it added a lot of flavour. I think it would work great stuffed in a chicken breast too. Yummy! Definitely a family favourite. - 11/23/09

    Very Good
    Newer guidance for cooking pork says cooking it to 160 is too long and dries it out. This was the case here for sure. The recipe was pretty good and flavorful except for it being over cooked at that temperature. - 9/26/17

    One of my favorite recipes... I used feta cheese, lemon and a little coconut oil on top to cook in oven. Always turns out perfect.. - 11/27/16

    Incredible!
    I used half a cup of bread stuffing instead of cheese. Took an extra 5 minutes to cook (total 30 minutes), but well worth the wait! - 11/17/16
