Ingredients (Serves 3–4):

1–2 lbs lamb chops (rib or loin chops)

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg, beaten

1 cup all-purpose flour

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Optional: fresh parsley or lemon wedges for serving

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

 

Instructions:

1. Prep the Lamb Chops
Pat lamb chops dry. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and the minced garlic. Let sit for 10–15 minutes to absorb the flavor.

2. Prepare Dredging Stations

In a shallow bowl: place the flour

In another bowl: beat the egg

In a third bowl: combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese

 

3. Coat the Chops
One at a time:

Dredge each chop in flour (shake off excess)

Dip in egg

Press into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until well coated

 

4. Fry the Chops

Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat

Once hot (around 350°F / 175°C), add lamb chops in batches

Fry each side for 3–4 minutes, until golden brown and cooked to desired doneness (internal temp: 130–135°F for medium-rare)

Drain on paper towels

 

5. Serve
Garnish with chopped parsley or a squeeze of lemon for brightness. Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a simple salad.
