PANKO-CRUSTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH FIG GLAZE
I always seem to have a jar of fig butter in my fridge for charcuterie boards. This recipe puts it to use in new ways -- to coat the pork tenderloin before rolling in panko and simmered in a buttery glaze to serve alongside the pork. If you don't have fig butter, it's absolutely worth buying a jar! The flavors pair beautifully with the pork.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Set a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet.
- In a medium skillet, combine the panko, 2 teaspoons of the herbes de Provence, 2 teaspoons salt, several grinds black pepper and the olive oil. Toast the panko over medium heat watching carefully and stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes.
- Prepare your breading station with three shallow baking dishes or plates big enough to fit the pork: Put the flour in one dish. Whisk the eggs with the 2 tablespoons fig butter in the second dish. Transfer the toasted panko to the third dish.
- Season each pork tenderloin generously with salt. Coat each in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg and fig mixture. Coat with the panko, pressing gently to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Insert a probe thermometer into the middle of one tenderloin (or use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature after the suggested roasting time). Bake until cooked through and reaches 145 degrees F on the thermometer, 20 to 25 minutes.
- About 5 minutes before the pork is done, make the fig glaze: Combine the remaining 1/3 cup fig butter with 1/3 cup water, the vinegar, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon herbes de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds black pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened but still pourable, about 5 minutes. Add the butter and swirl the pan until the butter melts and creates a shiny glaze.
- Slice the pork and serve with the fig glaze on the side.

Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork tenderloin is cooked to perfection. The internal temperature should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare, 155 degrees Fahrenheit for medium, and 165 degrees Fahrenheit for well done.
- Allow the pork tenderloin to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
- Make sure the panko breadcrumbs are evenly coated on the pork tenderloin. This will help create a crispy crust.
- Use a flavorful oil, such as olive oil or avocado oil, to fry the pork tenderloin. This will add extra flavor to the dish.
- Reduce the fig glaze until it has thickened. This will help it adhere to the pork tenderloin.
- Serve the pork tenderloin with your favorite sides. Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Panko-crusted pork tenderloin with fig glaze is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The pork tenderloin is juicy and flavorful, the panko crust is crispy and golden brown, and the fig glaze is sweet and tart. This dish is sure to impress your guests.
