Photo: Stuffed Filet Mignon Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 4 ounces fresh goat cheese
- 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
- 10 large fresh basil leaves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound beef tenderloin/filet mignon roast
- 20 slices pancetta
Directions
Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
In a food processor, pulse together cream cheese, goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, salt and pepper.
Cut the roast into round slices between 1/8-inch thick. If they are a bit too thick you can pound them out a little between 2-sheets of plastic wrap with a flat sided meat mallet. Season the beef with salt and pepper.
Spoon about 2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each slice of beef. Fold the meat around the cream cheese mixture to form a ball, trying not to overlap the beef too much in 1 spot. Place the ball, seam side down onto a slice of pancetta and wraps it around the beef ball. Secure the pancetta in place with water-soaked toothpicks.
Grill, turning occasionally, until the pancetta is crisp, about 2 minutes per side.

I used feta cheese instead of goat cheese and bacon instead of pancetta, very very good!

Despite being totally grossed out at Paula's behavior in her "Hotties" show (licking Jason Priestley's fingers etc - I was embarrassed for her I found myself really interested in what she was making, and decided I wanted to give it a try.
Well, today I did. I took this to a Barbecue as an appetizer. No one wanted to have just plain steaks after eating it! It was a huge hit. I was surprised, as so many there usually do not like goat cheese or cream cheese. They sure loved THIS though. Remember to soak the toothpicks!
