Prosciutto-wrapped Pork Tenderloin with Bourbon Mustard Glaze
This prosciutto-wrapped pork tenderloin is one of my top asked-for recipes. The perfectly crisp prosciutto with the bourbon mustard glaze will make your mouth water, yet it also serves as a casing for the flavorful stuffing and tenderloin wrapped inside. This is a recipe that has never failed me. It works beautifully every time.
Make this for a fancy party, holiday, or a quiet dinner in front of the fireplace. Transform this for gameday and cook it in a smoker for your next tailgate party! The possibilities are endless for this stuffed tenderloin.

Stuffed meats can seem daunting if you’ve never tried it. Yet it’s simply a process! In this particular recipe, it’s important to lay out your prosciutto in a nice square with the pieces overlapping. This will ensure that when you roll it, your stuffing and tenderloin will be securely tucked inside.
Do not rush the cooling time for both the stuffing and the stuffed loin. Be sure to give it some time in the refrigerator to firm up. Then you can be confident to move onto the baking process. If some stuffing pokes out, no worries, it simply adds to the texture and the beauty of this dish.

- Lift the plastic to help wrap the prosciutto and stuffing around the pork, and continue to roll up like a sushi roll, tightening the roll as you go.
- Tuck in the ends of the prosciutto, then finish wrapping the roll with the remaining plastic wrap, twisting the ends to compress the roast tightly. Press the roll on each end towards the center to further compress the roll. Wrap the roll in one last piece of plastic wrap, tucking the ends under to keep the roast snug and firm.

De Froid Tip: Presentation
Let’s talk Turkey! Sometimes it’s easier and appropriate to slice the entire turkey for your guests to help themselves. Yet other times, you can create an experience by cutting “to order” for your guests. Think about that meat-cutting station at fancy clubs or restaurants. The perfectly done work of art is waiting for your slice to be carved and the art of passing that freshly sliced piece onto your plate is a heart-warming experience.
Because of this, next time you’re going to serve a meal where slicing is in order, think about whether slicing it as you serve might be a more powerful experience for your guests.

Welcome to Foodie de Froid!
If you love real food, take pleasure in eating, and strive for mouth-watering flavor, you have come to the right place. Here the star of the show IS the food, presenting it in a way that makes it shine.
Tasting Experiences
We feature many appetizers and individual-sized recipes as a purposeful way to experience and share food.
Our mouth reacts to flavors in a transitional way. That first taste creates an exciting experience with the food’s intense flavors, textures, and visual appeal. Yet after the first few bites, our mouths and minds adjust, and that experience deadens.
Thus, the tasting experience! We served 14 consecutive courses at my last tasting party. Each was purposely selected to bring new flavors, textures, and presentations, creating surprises and wow moments throughout the night.
The Recipes
The recipes are documented with ingredients we love. Yet my greatest hope is to have you understand why the recipes work and eventually make them into your personal version using your favorite ingredients and presentations.
