These were SO incredibly easy to make and would satisfy any fast-food lover’s appetite for a greasy, crunchy fried sandwich! First, I set up 4 breading stations for the pork:

  1. Seasoning
  2. 1 beaten egg white
  3. Panko bread crumbs
  4. Non-stick sprayed baking sheet

Next I cut an 8oz butterflied pork chop in half, then pounded each side out until they were ~1/4 inch thick. Then I liberally seasoned both sides with seasoning salt.

Then, I dipped each chop into a dish with 1 beaten egg white, then into some panko bread crumbs, coating each side well.

Finally, I laid the chops on the baking sheet, pressed a few more crumbs on top, and sprayed the tops with non-stick spray.

Into a 425 degree oven they go, until the chops are golden brown and cooked all the way through, ~8-9 minutes.

Voila – a crispy, crunchy pork tenderloin sandwich that you would have sworn came right from the fryer! SO CRUNCHYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my opinion, a truly delish pork tenderloin sandwich MUST be served on a soft & squishy sesame seed bun, it MUST hang off the end of said bun, and the whole thing MUST be smothered in cold ketchup.
