Spinach ‘N’ Sausage Pork Loin

• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
• 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon onion soup mix
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 5 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme, divided
• 1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
• 1 boneless pork loin roast (about 3 pounds)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients; stir in spinach and 1/2 teaspoon thyme. Add sausage; mix lightly but thoroughly.
2. Cut lengthwise through center of pork roast to within 1/2 in. of bottom. Open roast flat; cover with plastic wrap. Pound with a meat mallet to flatten slightly. Remove plastic; spread sausage mixture over roast. Starting at a long side, roll up jelly-roll style; tie at 2-in. intervals with kitchen string. Secure ends with toothpicks.
3. Place roast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan, seam side down. Brush with oil; sprinkle with remaining thyme. Roast 2 to 2-1/2 hours or until a thermometer reads 160u0b0. Remove roast from oven; tent with foil. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
