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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, rosemary, thyme, and minced garlic. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 4

Brush each lamb chop with a thin layer of Dijon mustard; this will help the Parmesan herb crust adhere.

Step 5

Press the mustard-coated side of the lamb chops into the Parmesan herb mixture, ensuring an even crust forms. Repeat for all chops.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the chops from the oven and allow them to rest for 5 minutes to retain their juices.

Step 10

Serve immediately alongside your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
