Stuffed Filet Mignon

4 filet mignons, 2-3 oz each and 1.5" thick
4 oz. bleu cheese (use Gorgonzola Bleu cheese for better taste)
1/4 c. heavy cream
4 slices thick pepper bacon
2 to 3 Tbs Olive Oil
toothpicks
Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste

Preparation:

In a medium-sized skillet. Brown each side of filet in 2-3 tbs. olive oil. Don't over cook at this stage. You just need a light brown to retain flavor when cooking in oven. Cut a small pocket in the center of each filet mignon, leaving about 1/4" around the outside. In a small mixing bowl, combine bleu cheese and heavy cream. Fill a large pastry bag with the creamy bleu cheese mixture. Pipe bleu cheese into filet mignon pockets, dividing evenly amongst each of them. Set aside.

In a medium-sized saute pan over medium heat, cook bacon until it's just beginning to brown. Drain and cool slightly. Wrap 1 piece of bacon around the outside of each filet mignon and secure ends with a toothpick. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Broil filet mignons about 6 inches from the broiler for about 6 to 10 minutes each side depending on desired level of "pink." Serve with your favorite side item. Enjoy!!!
