Recipe type: breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 egg, whisked with 3 tbsp water
  • 1 sleeve of butter crackers, such as Ritz, crushed into crumbs
  • 2-1 and ½ inch thick slices of boneless pork loin, fat trimmed and discarded
  • Canola oil for frying
  • Waffles-use your favorite mix and cook according to directions and according to waffle-maker’s manufacturer’s instructions
  • Maple syrup or pancake syrup
Instructions
  1. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on top of a slice of pork loin and pound it out until it’s about ¼ inch thin. Repeat for the other piece of pork loin.
  2. Create a dredge station: Put ¼ cup flour into a container. In a separate container whisk the egg with the water. Put the cracker crumbs in a third container.
  3. Dredge each piece of pork loin through the flour on each side. Discard any leftover flour.
  4. Dredge each piece of pork loin through the egg wash on each side. Discard any leftover egg wash.
  5. Coat each piece of pork loin with the cracker crumbs on each side. Discard any leftover breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat the canola oil in a cast-iron skillet to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit (I put in enough oil to come up about ¼ inch from the bottom.)
  7. Fry each piece of breaded pork tenderloin until cooked through and golden brown. Turn over halfway through cook time.
  8. Remove from heat and place each breaded pork tenderloin on a paper towel lined plate to collect the excess oil.
  9. Make your favorite waffles according to the directions and according to the waffle-maker’s manufacturer’s instructions.
  10. Top the waffle with a breaded pork tenderloin and drizzle on as much or as little maple syrup as you wish!
