Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Lamb chops | 400g |

| Eggs | 3 |

Preparation Steps:
-
Prepare the Lamb Chops: Begin by removing the excess fat surrounding the lamb chops. Use a sharp knife to trim the fat and then clean the exposed bone by scraping off the cartilage using a small knife.
-
Tenderize the Meat: Use a meat mallet to gently pound the lamb chops. Be sure to cover the meat with parchment paper to prevent it from tearing during the process.

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, finely chopped parsley, and crushed garlic cloves. This will be your breading mixture.
-
Coat the Lamb Chops: Lightly flour the lamb chops, shaking off any excess flour. Then, dip each chop into the egg and Parmesan mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
-
Cook the Lamb Chops: Heat 6 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil and butter are hot, add the lamb chops. Cook each chop for 2-3 minutes on each side, ensuring they are golden brown. Avoid overcooking the lamb to preserve its tenderness.
-
Drain the Excess Oil: Once cooked, place the lamb chops on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve: Arrange the lamb chops on a serving platter, garnish with a few sprigs of fresh parsley and wedges of lemon on the side for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
