- When the cream has thickened enough, add the Provence herbs and keep on stirring over low heat for about 2 or 3 minutes. If the sauce isn’t thick enough, add some butter or cream.
- Once the pork loin fillets are ready, turn off the oven, take the baking dish out, and pour the blue cheese sauce over the fillets.
