Pork Loin With Fontina, Prosciutto & Sundried Tomato Sauce
This rich pork loin dish was created by Chef/Owner Susan Spicer of the famed Bayona restaurant, in New Orleans. It’s surprisingly simple to make, but yields delicious results. Fontina cheese is traditionally used in Italian cooking; it’s a good melting cheese, can take the place of Mozzarella and goes well with cured meats.
Yields 2 servings.

- 5 ounces pork loin, divided in half
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 sage leaves
- 2 ounces fontina, thinly sliced
- Flour for dredging
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons Marsala
- 4 tablespoons brown butter*
- 1 tablespoon sundried tomatoes,
diced
*To prepare brown butter, cook butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat until golden brown. |
