Ingredients:  
1/2 c mushrooms minced
1/4 c butter or margarine
1 medium onion minced
1/4 c bread crumbs
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp basil
1 tsp tarragon
1 lb pork tenderloin (fillet)

Directions:
Directions:
In a skillet over medium heat stir-cook minced mushrooms and onions in hot butter until all liquid is evaporated. Stir in bread crumbs, thyme, basil and tarragon. Set aside and let cool. Wipe tenderloin dry. Cut two or three slashes lengthwise on all sides of the tenderloin. Combine thyme, dry mustard, salt, pepper and garlic. Rub mixture into pork from one end to the other and into slashes. Fold tapered end of tenderloin under. Set aside. Prepare pastry. Roll into rectangle approximately 4 inches wider and 4 inches longer than the tenderloin. Spread a thin layer of mushroom mixture along the center of the rectangle and place the tenderloin on top. Brush dough edges with beaten egg white and trim squares of excess dough from corners. Wrap tenderloin like a package, pressing edges firmly so they stick together. Carefully roll wrapped tenderloin onto a floured baking sheet with seam side down. Brush top of tenderloin with remaining egg white. Cut crescents or leaves from dough trimmings and decorate top of tenderloin with the cut-outs. Brush both top and bottom of dough cut-outs with egg white. Using a sharp knife make small slashes in the dough beside the cut-outs to allow steam to escape. Bake uncovered in a 325º oven 1 hour or until pastry is golden brown and pork registers 170º on meat thermometer.
