Scale
Lamb Chops:
- 8 lamb rib chops (about 1 inch thick)
Coating Mixture:
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Additional:
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- lemon wedges and chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Lamb Chops: Pat the lamb chops dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Create Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, rosemary, and garlic powder.
- Beat Eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
- Coat Lamb Chops: Dip each lamb chop into the egg mixture, then press into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Cook Lamb Chops: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lamb chops in batches and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness.
- Rest and Garnish: Let the chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, place the breaded chops on a wire rack and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10–12 minutes after pan-searing.
- These pair well with roasted potatoes or a fresh arugula salad.
