Pork Loin With Fresh Mozzarella, Basil And Tomatoes

Pork Loin With Fresh Mozzarella, Basil And Tomatoes


1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Trim the pork tenderloins to remove "silver skin," then slice into 3/4-inch thick rounds.

3. In a hot skillet, brown the tenderloins on both sides in olive oil. Set aside.

4. In a 9 X 13-inch baking pan, arrange the pork slices face up.

5. On top of each slice of pork, top with a small dollop of basil pesto, a slice of tomato and a fresh basil leaf. Repeat until all slices of pork are covered.

6. In a small bowl, combine garlic and tomato sauce. Pour into baking dish, being careful of pork slices. Sauce can cover pork.

7. Top each slice of pork with a thin slice of mozarella cheese.

8. Bake at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and golden brown. Cheese may be slid under the broiler for a few minutes for extra browning if desired.
