Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Number of servings: 6

Ingredients:
- 1 kg pork (thigh or shoulder)
- 300 g mushrooms (champignon or pleurotus)
- 200 g cheese (preferably smoked for added flavor)
- 1 large onion
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 3 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon sweet paprika
- 50 ml white wine (optional)

Preparation:
1. Preparing the meat: Start by cutting the pork into a large, even piece, forming a "blanket". Use a sharp knife and ensure the cut is uniform to allow for easy rolling. Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides and let the meat rest for 15 minutes to infuse with flavors.

2. The filling: Finely chop the onion and garlic. In a pan, heat the sunflower oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent. Add the finely chopped mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until the excess water evaporates and the mushrooms turn golden. Finally, you can add the white wine, allowing it to evaporate. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool slightly.

3. Adding the cheese: Once the filling has cooled, add the grated cheese, egg, thyme, paprika, and mix well. This mixture will give the roll a creamy texture and delicious taste.

4. Assembling the roll: Spread the filling over the pork, leaving the edges free. Carefully roll the meat, starting from one edge, to form a tight roll. Tie the roll with kitchen twine, ensuring that the filling will not escape during baking.

5. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the roll in a baking dish lined with parchment paper or lightly greased with oil. Bake for about 60 minutes, turning the roll halfway through for even browning. Use a meat thermometer to check if the internal temperature has reached 70°C, indicating it is cooked.

6. Serving: Once baked, let the roll rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. You can serve the pork roll with mushrooms and cheese alongside mashed potatoes or grilled vegetables. A side of green salad with a light dressing will perfectly complement the meal.

Practical tips:
- You can vary the filling by adding sautéed spinach or bell peppers for a more colorful and healthy touch.
- Ensure the pork is of good quality to achieve a juicy roll.
- If you want a more intense flavor, replace the sunflower oil with butter for sautéing the mushrooms.
