Herb Parmesan Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 2 (12 ounce) pork tenderloins
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or equivalently 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to lubricate your baking dish with cooking spray in order to prevent any food residue from sticking.
3
Arrange the pork tenderloins in a single layer within your prepared baking dish, leaving enough space for even cooking.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, thyme, salt, and black pepper to create a uniform mixture.
5
Take this bread crumb mixture and thoroughly blend it together until you achieve the desired consistency, then set it aside for later use.
6
In a small bowl, combine the mustard and garlic to create a harmonious blend of flavors.
7
Then, apply this mixture evenly over the surface of each pork tenderloin using a gentle spreading motion.
8
Following this, sprinkle the bread crumb mixture over the top of each pork tenderloin in a uniform and even layer.
9
Place your baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the pork is no longer pink in the center, approximately 20 minutes.
10
For confirmation, insert an instant-read thermometer into the center of the pork and verify that it reaches a temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit, or 70 degrees Celsius.
11
Once the pork is cooked to your satisfaction, remove it from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before slicing into individual portions.
