Place the pork between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and using a meat mallet, rolling pin or just a heavy flat pan, pound the meat to about 1/4″ thickness. Trim off the pointy end. Season with salt and pepper.

In a small bowl, mash up the roasted garlic, add the cheeses and spinach and mix well. Spread the filling to within 1/2″ of the edges of the pork.
