Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in small skillet, add shallots, pepper and salt; cook until soft. Combine in a small bowl shallot mixture, breadcrumbs, thyme and Parmesan and Blue cheeses; set aside.

Cut tenderloin lengthwise so it opens like a book; do not cut through. Place stuffing into slit, close and tie with kitchen twine at 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) intervals. Place on roasting pan, cover with Reynolds® Aluminum Foil.

Bake in 375˚F (190˚C) oven 30 minutes. Remove foil; bake an additional 20 minutes or until cooked through. Let stand at room temperature 10 minutes; remove twine, slice and serve.

Makes 4 servings.
