For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a thin smear of Dijon mustard under the herb rub. Don't skip the resting period! This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful porchetta. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the rub to customize the flavor profile to your liking. If you want extra crispy bacon, you can broil the porchetta for the last few minutes of cooking, but watch it closely to prevent burning.
