Stuffed Pork Tenderloin (Pic Heavy)

Mrs. G isn't the biggest fan of pork tenderloins. She thinks they are boring. But we had some in the freezer and I needed to do something with them. Thought I'd try and stuff them with some stuff we had laying around the fridge.  Instead of slicing it butterflying it out and making it flat, I thought maybe just cutting a pocket might help keep the cheese from leaking out.  Check out those super duper, awesome knife skills. Not.
Then I thought to myself, "self, if you wrapped the cheese in ham, mightn't that help stop the cheese from leaking out?" Cheese was Monterrey Jack. Ham was...whatever ham was in the fridge. Not sure.
Then I thought "Self, mustard goes good with ham and cheese!" So the inside of the tenderloin was coated in mustard. Then I spotted some leftover pesto. Why not? IN goes some pesto, then the ham and cheese wrapped "Log" Sprinkled on some DP Canadian steak whatever its called seasoning.
Cooked it at 350 raised indirect with some peach wood. Slowly crept up to 375 during the cook.
I figured she was about done at 40 minutes. Looks like even with my best efforts, we lost some cheese.
Let it rest for about 10  minutes while we got some sides together.
Don't let the lighting fool you. It was more done than it looks in the next few pics, although I think it could have used another 5 minutes or so.  I hate our kitchen lighting.
All sliced up and ready to eat.
Mrs. G actually liked it and asked if she could take some of it to lunch with her today. I call that a success in my book.

    That looks delicious @Griffin. Pics look okay when you click on them.

    BTW, that first shot reminds me of something... it's right on the tip of my tongue but ???

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Pictures are funny looking.  Other than that it looks anything but boring.  Nicely done!

    @TexanOfTheNorth you are horrible. I didn't even think of that. LOL The pictures do look fine when you click on them. No idea why they are messed up like that.

    Great cook. The pics are screwed up on my Windows machine using Google Chrome. I am not sure what the problem is.
