Having just tried this, I have a few recommendations as to how to improve upon the recipe. Firstly, cut back on the truffle oil. Knowing that it has a very strong flavour (and that it's expensive), I added 1 tablespoon to begin with and found this to be more than sufficient. They are, after all, supposed to be "scented", not "saturated", with truffle flavor. Even with just one tablespoon, I couldn't taste the prosciutto. Secondly, double the stuffing recipe. I made the whole batch of stuffing for 3 cornish hens and found it to be just right. Finally, butterfly the hens and press them flat to roast. They cook and brown more evenly this way and are neatly split at the breast bone in order to feed 2 people each.
