BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH
This is a great make ahead recipe that's perfect for informal get-togethers. If not preparing for serving later, you can omit the baking portion - just cook through when frying. I buy whole pork roasts and slice the entire thing for tenderloins. As long as I'm going to the work to prepare them; I prepare the entire roast for freezing and, walah, several make ahead meals are ready!

Steps:
- Place each slice of pork tenderloin between two pieces of sturdy plastic (such as a cut-up large plastic freezer bag), and flatten the cutlet until it's about 1/4 inch thick, and about 3 1/2 by 5 inches in size.
- Beat the eggs and milk together in a shallow bowl, and whisk in the garlic powder, onion powder, seasoned salt, marjoram, oregano, salt, and pepper until the spices are well blended into the mixture. Place the bread crumbs in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each flattened cutlet into the seasoned milk-egg mixture and then into the bread crumbs, thoroughly coating the cutlets with crumbs. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a piece of parchment or waxed paper; do not stack.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet until the oil is shimmering. Gently lower the cutlets, one at a time, into the hot oil, and fry until golden brown on each side, about 8 minutes per cutlet. Drain the cutlets on paper towels.
- Preheat oven broiler, and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
- Spread the Kaiser rolls open with the cut sides up, and broil until the rolls are toasted and hot, about 1 minute. Top each roll with a fried cutlet (hopefully the sides of the meat will hang out of the roll by at least an inch on each side); top each cutlet with choice of mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and a pickle slice, if desired.

Steps:
- Cut the pork crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Put each piece flat on a cutting board and slice horizontally almost in half (stop about 1 inch from the other side). Open like a book. Sprinkle each piece with water, place between 2 pieces of heavy-duty plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thick with a mallet or heavy skillet.
- Whisk the eggs, buttermilk, garlic, 1 teaspoon each salt and black pepper, and the cayenne in a shallow bowl. Add the pork, cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Pulse the crackers into coarse crumbs in a food processor, then transfer to a shallow dish. Put the flour in another dish. Remove each piece of pork from the marinade, letting the excess drip off. Dredge both sides in the flour, dip in the buttermilk marinade again, then coat with the cracker crumbs.
- Heat 1/4 to 1/2 inch peanut oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 360. Fry the pork in batches until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Spread both halves of each bun with mayonnaise and mustard. Layer the lettuce, tomatoes and onion on the bottom halves. Add a piece of pork and a few pickle slices. Cover with the bun tops.
BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN
Meat is a hard sell with my teenage daughter, unless I make it look like a restaurant dish. Drizzle ranch dressing or barbecue sauce on top, and it's a home run. -Donna Carney, New Lexington, Ohio

PORK TENDERLOIN SANDWICH
A classic sandwich in the Midwest, particularly popular in Iowa and Indiana, but there are regional variations throughout the entire United STates. I've always thought of this as a German schnitzel on a sandwich. It's crispy and crunchy... tender deliciousness!

Steps:
- Trim pork tenderloin of any fat and silver skin, and cut into 4 equal pieces. Place each piece between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag. Pound the cutlets using a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness, flattening each piece.
- Combine flour, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a shallow dish. Whisk together buttermilk and egg in a second dish. Add panko breadcrumbs to a third dish.
- Dry cutlets with paper towels, and dredge each in the flour mixture on both sides, shaking off any excess. Next dredge tenderloins in the egg-buttermilk mixture, shaking off the excess. Finally, turn cutlets in the bread crumb mixture, pressing down until completely coated. Transfer to a plate and let dry for at least 5 minutes.
- Heat oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet to between 350 to 375 degrees F (175 to 190 degrees C). Place a couple of breaded cutlets in the skillet, making sure not to crowd, and fry on each side for about 3 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally until cutlets are deep golden brown and crisp. Transfer the cutlets to a wire rack to drain any excess oil. Repeat the procedure with the remaining cutlets.
- Spread each roll with mayonnaise then add lettuce, pickle slices, and cutlets.

BREADED PORK TENDERLOIN WHERE THE BREADING DOESN'T FALL OFF
I love breaded pork tenderloin sandwiches! But every time I make them, the breading falls off in the pan. But last night I had such a great success, I wrote down what I did and will follow this way...I think the key is do not fry them right away after they're coated...let them sit at least 10-20 minutes. My measurements are approximate as I just dump and guess. I guess I just got lucky last night. After they were breaded (uncooked), I had to do something else for a bit. I came back and put them in the pan and it fried up nicely without a bunch of bald spots on my tenderloins. Preparation time includes a 20-minute 'pause' before cooking the breaded loins. You could probably bread them the night before and stick them in the fridge if you have space. Give it a try and let me know!

Steps:
- Mix all the dry ingredients together (corn meal, flour, bread crumbs, seasonings).
- Don't dip the tenderloins into any milk or egg, just dip it in your dry ingredients and coat both sides. Push the dry ingredients into the tenderloin best you can. The natural juices provide enough moisture to get the breading to stick.
- Lay breaded tenderloins on a plate or wax paper for 10-20 minutes to sit.
- Then fry in heated oil. It will take about 3-5 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness of the tenderloin. You may sprinkle tenderloin with salt while frying, if desired.
- Serve on toasted bun with mayo, loads of pickles (my favorite), mustard, ketchup, lettuce, or whatever you desire.
