Instructions
  1. On a work surface, mince the sage, rosemary. In a small dish combine with thyme leaves, crushed fennel, pepper, garlic, salt. Add Dijon mustard to mixture .
  2. Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Cook the pork, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes. Slather the entire pork with the Dijon mustard mixture.
  3. Cut the baguette in half the long way & minimally scoop out the soft insides. Brush the inside of the baguette with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil. Place the pork on the inside of the baguette so that the pork is completely enclosed. Tie the baguette, at 1-to 2-inch intervals, with kitchen string.
  4. Preheat an oven to 375 F. Place the pork on a baking sheet roast until done, 148 F. on an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part, 25 to 30 minutes.
  5. Remove from the oven, let rest 10 minutes. Remove the strings & cut into slices. Serve.
Recipe Notes

Try to get a baguette (or French loaf) that is fairly round and not too flat in the middle because the bread has to ‘hug’ the pork as much as possible. Also try to scoop out as little bread as possible since that was the best part.
I made a thin pork gravy to serve with this meal. It made it real tasty!
