This turned out excellent and was actually very easy! I've always head that this type of dish is extremely difficult to do, but I did it and I feel like a rockstar lol! The only thing I did differently was I used a store bought pie crust that I rolled out fairly thin because my store doesn't carry the puff pastry. My husband loved it, he thought it was the best piece of pork he's ever had!

One of the best! Try goat cheese and use the apple cider moification on the port wine sauce for the beef wellington.
