Method
 

How to Make Herb Crusted Pork Loin
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure an even cook throughout the pork.
  2. Pat dry the pork loin with paper towels, then rub it with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Combine panko breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and garlic in a bowl. Press this mixture onto the pork loin.
  4. Roast the pork loin in a pan for 20 minutes to start the browning process.
  5. Whisk together apple cider, Dijon mustard, and honey. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the glaze thickens.
  6. Brush half of the glaze over the pork and return it to the oven.
  7. Continue roasting for an additional 20-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  8. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
