Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Stir until evenly combined.
Brush each lamb chop with a thin layer of Dijon mustard; this will help the Parmesan herb crust adhere.
Press the mustard-coated side of the lamb chops into the Parmesan herb mixture, ensuring an even crust forms. Repeat for all chops.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the lamb chops crust-side down in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes until the crust turns golden brown. Flip the chops and sear for 1 more minute on the other side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer for accuracy: 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare, 135°F (57°C) for medium.
Remove the chops from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.
Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
