marinated Sun dried tomatoes
8-10 thinly sliced prosciutto
virgin olive oil

Steps:

Wash the basil leaves and layer down the middle of the tenderloin. Soften the goat cheese at room temp and mix in sun dried tomatoes to form a paste. Spread on top of the basil leaves Fold the tenderloin closed and wrap with the prosciutto ham until the tenderloin is covered. Brush olive oil around the tenderloin and season with salt and pepper.
