CHEESY PORK CORDON BLEU

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Cut the pork tenderloin into 6 equal parts.
• Sandwich each piece between two sheets of wax paper or parchment paper.
• Using a rolling pin, pound each pork tenderloin until thin steaks.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Place grated parmesan on each piece.
• Divide the pepperoni slices into 6 servings and carefully lay down each piece of port.
• Fold over the steak to enclose the cheese and the pepperoni slices.
• In a small bowl whisk together 1/2 cup of flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
• Place the beaten egg in another small bowl, and the panko bread crumbs in a third small bowl.
• Carefully pick up the stuffed pork and lightly coat each side in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, followed by the panko bread crumbs to coat.
• Once the oil is hot, place the pork in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side to form a golden-brown crust.
• Place the skillet into the oven for an additional 7 to 10 minutes or until cooked through.
