These aren’t your typical pork skewers; they are pork loin skewers where the pork is rolled up with cheese and ham, and threaded onto skewers. They are perfect for any dinner through the week along with favorite sides like rice and roasted vegetables.
To make the pork loin skewers, you coat the pork loin slices in breadcrumbs before rolling them up with the cheese and ham before threading them on skewers. Then, they get baked in the oven until they are cooked through.
What are Pork Loin Skewers?
Pork loin skewers are skewers consisting of pork loin slices that are rolled up with ham and cheese. They are coated in a breadcrumb mixture which gives the skewers some texture.
Pro Tips
- Feel free to use whatever type of cheese you enjoy the most such as mozzarella, cheddar, provolone, or gruyere.
- Thinly slice the pork loin so that it is easy to roll up.
- Don’t overbake the skewers as you don’t want the pork to dry out.
- Feel free to add extra seasonings to the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor if desired. Dried oregano, dried basil, lemon zest, chopped rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes are all excellent options.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Pork Loin Skewers Be Cooked on the Grill?
Yes, if you would prefer to grill the skewers outdoors, you definitely could. However, if you are using wooden or bamboo skewers, you should soak them in water for a few hours so they don’t flame up on the grill.
Can You Use Pork Loin for Kebobs?
Absolutely! One nice thing is that pork loin is a leaner cut of pork which means that it will cook quickly and there won’t be any sinewy bits.
Do the Wooden Skewers Need to Be Soaked?
Since the skewers bake in the oven, they don’t necessarily need to be pre-soaked as they shouldn’t flame up. However, if you choose to cook the skewers on a grill, you should pre-soak the skewers in water for at least a few hours before assembling them.
How to Store Pork Loin Skewers
The leftover skewers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
