• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

How to Make Herb-Crusted Pork Tenderloin Medallions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Trim any excess fat from the pork tenderloin and slice it into 1-inch thick medallions.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, rosemary, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
5. Coat each pork medallion in the herb breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
6. Place the coated medallions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
8. While the pork is baking, prepare the honey butter by mixing the softened butter and honey in a small bowl until well combined.
9. Once baked, remove the pork medallions from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
10. Serve the herb-crusted pork medallions warm, topped with a dollop of honey butter.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the pork is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
• Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the pork for a better crust.
• Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness without cutting into the meat.
• Feel free to customize the herb mix based on what you have on hand.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the pork tenderloin with chicken breasts or salmon fillets for a different protein.
• Add spices like paprika or cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture for a kick.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes or garlic mashed cauliflower
