Fresh mozzarella cheese is wrapped in pork, then pan-fried to a golden crisp for this open sandwich. A harmonious blend of toast spread with spicy mustard butter and a special tomato sauce makes this a restaurant-quality Western dish that's easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (1 serving)

  • Pork Loin 2 slices
  • Mozzarella Cheese 1 ball
  • Bread 1 slice
  • All-purpose Flour (as needed)
  • Beaten Egg 1
  • Panko Breadcrumbs (as needed)
  • Tomato 1
  • Chrysanthemum Greens (as needed)

Seasonings

  • [A] Butter (as needed)
  • [A] Mustard (as needed)
  • [B] Salt (to taste)
  • [B] Pepper (to taste)
  • [B] Whole Grain Mustard (as needed)
  • [B] Olive Oil (as needed)

Steps

  1. Soften Butter (as needed) and mix with Mustard (as needed) to create spicy mustard butter.
  2. Cut Mozzarella Cheese 1 ball into 4 pieces.
  3. Season Pork Loin 2 slices with Salt (to taste).
  4. Layer the two slices of Pork Loin, place the cut Mozzarella Cheese in between, and roll them up to enclose. This is key: creating a thicker cutlet allows the melted mozzarella to look even more appetizing.
  5. Lightly coat the wrapped pork with All-purpose Flour (as needed).
  6. Dip the floured pork into Beaten Egg 1, then coat thoroughly with Panko Breadcrumbs (as needed).
  7. Finely chop the Tomato 1 with the skin on. Mix with Salt (to taste), Pepper (to taste), Whole Grain Mustard (as needed), and Olive Oil (as needed) to make the sauce. This is key: pork and mustard are a great combination, so don't skip it.
  8. Lightly season the Chrysanthemum Greens (as needed) with Salt (to taste) and drizzle with a little Olive Oil (as needed).
  9. Heat a generous amount of Olive Oil (as needed) in a frying pan. Once hot, add the coated pork.
  10. Start searing the pork on the seam side. Once the temperature is up, reduce the heat and slowly cook until golden brown all over. This is key: frying in too much oil might cause the cheese to leak. Instead, aim to get a nice sear and finish by cooking through with residual heat to ensure the mozzarella cheese melts perfectly.
  11. Spread the prepared spicy mustard butter on the toasted Bread 1 slice, which has been toasted in a separate pan or toaster.
  12. Once the underside of the pork has a good color, flip it over, cover with a lid, and steam-cook. After steaming, flip again.
  13. When the pork is cooked through, remove from heat and drain any excess oil.
  14. Slice the pork and let it rest for a moment to ensure it's cooked through from the residual heat.
  15. On the toast spread with spicy mustard butter, lay down the prepared Chrysanthemum Greens, place the sliced pork on top, and generously spoon the tomato sauce over it. This is key: using leafy greens like mizuna or watercress besides chrysanthemum greens will add not only color but also a complex flavor profile with bitterness and sweetness.
