Ingredients
1 1/2 cups pretzel sticks, finely crushed
1/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 tsp. coarse salt
1/2 cup egg whites (about 4 large eggs' worth)
1 tbsp. Dijon mustard
One 1-lb. raw pork tenderloin, trimmed of excess fat

12 slider rolls, bottom halves only
12 small lettuce leaves

1/3 cup light mayonnaise
24 bread-and-butter pickle slices
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
In a wide bowl, combine crushed pretzels, flour, and salt. Mix well.
In another wide bowl, combine egg whites with mustard. Whisk until mostly uniform.
Cut pork tenderloin crosswise into 12 even pieces, each about 3/4 inch thick. Pound until about 2 1/2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
One at a time, dunk pork cutlets in egg mixture, shake to remove excess, and coat with crumbs.
Evenly lay cutlets on the baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes.
Flip cutlets. Bake until outside is crispy and inside is cooked through, 10 - 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, toast the bottom halves of slider rolls.
Top toasted slider roll halves with lettuce, pretzel-crusted pork, mayo, and pickles.
