Ingredients
- pork tenderloin (defrosted)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper to taste, non-stick cooking spray

- Slice the tenderloin into ½ inch rounds.
Place the rounds between two plastic sheets and pound until each piece is ¼ inch thick.
In a wide bowl, mix together the eggs and milk.
In a separate bowl or pie plate, pour the breadcrumbs.
Dip each piece of pork into the egg and milk mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
Then dip the pork into the breadcrumbs, coating each side.
Place the coated pork onto a wire rack for 30 minutes to ensure the coating will stick.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (204°C).
