Breaded Pork Tenderloin is a classic Midwestern comfort food known for its crispy, golden coating and juicy, tender center. This dish typically features a thinly pounded pork tenderloin, coated in seasoned flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs, then deep-fried or pan-fried to perfection. Originating from European schnitzel recipes, it has found a cherished place in American cuisine, particularly in Indiana and Iowa, often served as a large sandwich with pickles, onions, and mustard. While this dish is high in protein, the frying process adds significant calories and fat. To make it healthier, try baking or air frying instead of deep-frying and using whole-grain breadcrumbs for extra fiber. Paired with fresh vegetables or a salad, Breaded Pork Tenderloin can be part of a balanced meal. However, as a fried dish, it’s best enjoyed in moderation.
