Ingredients
- 1½ lb pork tenderloin
- 1 lb fresh strawberries
- 6 oz cream cheese
- 3 tbsp honey
- 8 slices country white bread
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 bunch fresh thyme
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Steps
- Slice pork tenderloin into four 6-ounce medallions, season with salt and pepper, then sear in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 6 minutes per side until internal temperature reaches 145°F; remove and rest 3 minutes.
- Halve strawberries, warm honey with 2 sprigs thyme in a small saucepan until fragrant, then fold in strawberries and simmer 2 minutes.
- Toast bread slices in a toaster oven or skillet with butter until golden, then spread each with cream cheese.
- Discard thyme from strawberry mixture. Spoon warm strawberries and glaze over all eight toasts. Serve two toasts and one pork medallion per person.
- Picky eater tip: serve the pork plain, the toast with just cream cheese, and the strawberries on the side.
- Make ahead: slice the pork and halve the strawberries up to a day ahead and keep them chilled. Cook and toast just before serving.
On the side: Garlicky green beans (10 min)
12 oz green beans
- Trim the green beans. Cook in a skillet with a splash of olive oil over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes, until bright and just tender.
- Stir in a minced garlic clove for the last minute and season with salt.
