Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Lamb cutlets
- 100 grams Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 100 grams Plain flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the flour in a shallow dish and season with salt and black pepper. In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs lightly. In a third dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and rosemary.
Pat the lamb cutlets dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks properly.
One at a time, dredge each lamb cutlet in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs and let the excess drip off. Finally, coat it generously with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing it on to adhere well.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the lamb cutlets in batches, cooking for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden and crisp. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Transfer the seared cutlets to the prepared baking tray and place them in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes for medium doneness or longer for your preferred level of doneness.
Remove the lamb cutlets from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for an added burst of freshness.
