Meal Bite: Parmesan Crusted Pork

Hi Busies!

Pork is a relatively new addition to my cooking repertoire.  I always told myself that I didn’t like it, so I refused to try it, until Drew ordered it while we were out to eat one night and insisted I try a bite.  Usually it’s me insisting he try whatever seafood dish I ordered, but I’m glad that this time the tables were turned.  It was a delicious, flavorful bite with a crispy crust, juicy pork, and a wonderful melding of flavors.  In that moment, a lightbulb went off in my head…?*hey, I can make that*… so I did!

I’ve used both bone-in pork chops or boneless pork medallions to make this recipe, and I prefer the boneless.  They cook through very quickly on the stovetop, so you avoid having to make room to finish them in the oven during your meal prep session.  If I have leftover parmesan cheese after making my chicken parm meatballs and the pork, I love to sprinkle it on whatever veggies I’m roasting!

And y’all – this CRUST!  It’s made with just a few ingredients, but they combine into something truly amazing.  My mouth was watering just from the smell of this dish and I couldn’t wait to dive in – I almost forgot to take pictures.  Make sure to use quality parmesan cheese from your grocery store’s deli counter, and check out more of my meal prep tips for other ways to help your meal prep meals taste like restaurant quality!
