Pork Nuggets
  1. Cut the pork tenderloin into bite-sized pieces. I recommend shooting for 1-inch cubes. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

  2. Whisk together the eggs and milk in a small shallow dish; set aside.

  3. In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and seasonings.

  4. Grab a piece of pork, dunk into the egg mixture and then coat in the crumb mixture. Repeat with remaining pork.

  5. Now it's time to cook the pork nuggets! You can choose to fry, air fry or bake them.

  6. Fry: Pour vegetable oil or canola oil into a saucepan until it's about 1 ½ inches deep. Heat the oil to 350℉ and fry a few nuggets at a time until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145℉. Remove from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined dish.

  7. Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 375℉. Place several nuggets into the basket, making sure to give some space between them. Air fry for 5-7 minutes or until the largest nugget in the batch reaches 145℉. Remove from the basket and repeat until all the nuggets are cooked.

  8. Bake: Preheat oven to 400℉. Place the nuggets onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading them out as much as possible. Spray the nuggets with cooking spray. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145℉.

  9. Serve the warm pork nuggets in your favorite dipping sauce.
