What it is
A tender pork loin, butterflied and generously stuffed with a savory mixture of melted white cheese (such as mozzarella or llanero cheese) and slices of ham. It is then rolled, seared, and slow-cooked or baked until incredibly juicy and flavorful. Served without starchy sides.
Key ingredients
Pork loin, white cheese, ham, olive oil, garlic, herbs (e.g., oregano, thyme), salt, pepper.
Optional tweaks
Ensure ham is low-sugar/keto-friendly. Confirm no breading or flour is used. Request it to be served with a side of steamed or grilled keto vegetables (e.g., broccoli, asparagus) instead of traditional carb sides.
Watch out for
Some processed hams contain sugar, sauces sometimes contain hidden sugars, cross-contamination if prepared with non-keto fillings, or served with carby sides.
