Ingredients

• 1 piece (about 1 to 1.5 lbs) Pork tenderloin
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray and set it aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and panko breadcrumbs until evenly combined.

Step 3

Pat the pork tenderloin dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps the seasonings stick better.

Step 4

Brush the pork tenderloin evenly with olive oil and then coat it with the Dijon mustard, ensuring all sides are covered.

Step 5

Press the Parmesan mixture onto the pork, firmly coating the entire surface. Use your hands to press the mixture onto the mustard layer so it adheres well.

Step 6

Carefully place the coated pork tenderloin onto the prepared baking sheet. Press any remaining Parmesan mixture onto the top of the pork for extra crust.

Step 7

Bake the pork tenderloin in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 145°F (63°C) on a meat thermometer.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

Step 9

Slice the pork into medallions and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
