Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes
Yield: Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 to 2 pounds pork tenderloin
- 2 cups panko bread crumbs
- 5 slices cooked bacon, crisp
- 1 teaspoon rubbed sage
- 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme
- salt and pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
Preparation:
In a food processor, combine the panko crumbs, bacon, sage, and thyme. Process until the crumbs and bacon are fine and well blended. Pour into a large shallow bowl.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Sprinkle the pork slices lightly with salt and pepper. Put the pork slices in the egg mixture, coating all slices well. Remove a slice from egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and dip into the panko and bacon crumbs, coating both sides thoroughly. Place on a sheet of foil or on a pan and repeat with the remaining pork. Let pork stand for 10 minutes.
Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until butter is foamy. Fry the pork slices for about 5 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through.
These make delicious sandwiches, but would be great with a gravy or sauce with potatoes, too.
Serves 4 to 6.
