Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces lamb chops
- 4 pieces garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 2 tablespoons fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper on both sides.
In a food processor or with a knife, finely chop the garlic, rosemary, thyme, and parsley.
Transfer the chopped herbs and garlic into a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper, stirring until combined to form a crust mixture.
Heat a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter.
Sear the lamb chops in the skillet for 1-2 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Remove from heat.
Brush each lamb chop lightly with Dijon mustard on one side, then press the herb crust mixture onto the mustard-coated surface.
Place the skillet with the lamb chops in the preheated oven and roast for 8-10 minutes for medium-rare doneness, or adjust cooking time based on your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the lamb chops rest for 5 minutes before serving. This will ensure the juices redistribute evenly.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
