Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients:
- 6 pork tenderloin fillets (approximately 300 g)
- 2 hard-boiled eggs
- 50 g bacon
- 50 g ham
- 1 roasted red pepper
- 2 garlic cloves
- A few sprigs of fresh parsley
- 25 ml white wine
- Oil for frying
- 1 raw egg
- Salt and pepper
- Breadcrumbs

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the meat:
Start by pounding the pork tenderloin fillets with a meat mallet until they become thin. This step is essential for achieving tender rolls that will cook evenly. Use plastic wrap to cover the meat, preventing splatter and making the process easier.

2. Marinating the meat:
Finely chop the garlic and mix it with the chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and white wine. This marinade will give the meat a special flavor. Spread the mixture over each piece of meat and let them marinate in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

3. Preparing the filling:
In the meantime, boil the eggs until hard (about 10 minutes). Once cooled, peel and chop them finely. Cut the bacon and ham into thin strips, and the roasted red pepper into small cubes. These ingredients will add extra flavor to your rolls.

4. Assembling the flamenquines:
Remove the meat fillets from the fridge and top each with a portion of bacon, ham, diced pepper, and chopped hard-boiled egg. Carefully roll each fillet, ensuring the filling stays well wrapped. You can use toothpicks to secure the rolls if necessary.

5. Dipping in egg and breadcrumbs:
Beat the raw egg in a bowl. Then, dip each roll in the beaten egg, making sure it is well coated, and then in the breadcrumbs. This step will give the flamenquines a delicious, crispy crust.

6. Frying the flamenquines:
In a skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom. Heat the oil over high heat, then reduce to medium. Fry the rolls until golden and crispy on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet for even frying.

7. Draining excess oil:
After cooking, remove the flamenquines to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. This detail is important for achieving a less greasy final result.

8. Serving:
Serve the flamenquines hot, alongside a fresh salad. A rocket salad with cherry tomatoes and lemon dressing could be an excellent choice. I recommend pairing them with a refreshing drink, such as a dry white wine or fresh lemonade.

Helpful tips:
- You can experiment with fillings by adding cheese or olives for a different taste.
- If you don’t have pork tenderloin, you can use chicken or turkey breast.
- For a lighter version, you can bake the flamenquines in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes.

Nutritional benefits:
These flamenquines are rich in protein due to the meat and eggs, and the addition of vegetables provides vitamins and fiber. However, it’s important to consume them in moderation, considering the fat content of the bacon and oil.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I prepare flamenquines a day in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls and keep them in the refrigerator, and before serving, you can fry them.
- Can they be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze un-fried flamenquines. When you want to prepare them, let them thaw in the refrigerator and then fry them.
