Recipe View 3 mins Add toppings in the desired order: mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, pickle, onion, tomato, and lettuce. Top sandwiches with roll tops and serve.

For an extra crispy tenderloin, try double-dredging the pork in the egg mixture and breadcrumbs.
If you don't have peanut oil, vegetable oil or canola oil can be substituted.
Make sure the oil is hot before adding the tenderloins to ensure proper browning and avoid a soggy crust.
Adjust the amount of condiments and toppings to your liking. Some people prefer a simpler sandwich with just mayonnaise and pickles.
Consider adding a slice of cheese, such as provolone or American, for an extra layer of flavor.
