Lamb Chops My Way (Parmesan Herb Crusted)

This is the way I cook my lamb chops. They are always tender and delicious. I prefer to use rack of lamb, which I then cut into "chops". Served with mint sauce, boiled new potatoes and peas, you couldn't ask for a nicer or tastier dinner.

• Ready In: 21 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 cup  finely chopped flat leaf parsley
• 1⁄4 cup  finely chopped of fresh mint
• 1⁄2 cup  fresh breadcrumb
• 1⁄2 cup  freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 8  lamb rib chops (cut from a rack of lamb, cutting between the rack bones)
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1  pinch fresh ground black pepper
• 2  large eggs, beaten
• 3  tablespoons olive oil
• 4  sprigs mint (to garnish)

Directions

1. Heat oven to 450*F. In a medium bowl combine the fresh herbs and set aside. In another bowl combine the bread crumbs and cheese and set aside. Place the beaten eggs in a third bowl.
2. Season the chops on each side with the salt and pepper. Press the fresh herbs into each side of the chops, covering completely. Dip chops into the beaten egg and then into the bread crumb mixture, coating them well.
3. In a large nonstick skillet with a heat resistant handle, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add chops and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes on each side. Carefully turn the chops and brown the edges, about 30 seconds. Transfer the skillet to the oven and finish cooking the chops until medium rare, about 2 minutes.
4. Serve immediately to 4 very lucky people!
