Ingredients:
- 4 shoulder lamb chops
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
Instructions:
-
Preheat Broiler: Start by preheating your broiler and positioning the rack about 4 inches from the heat source.
-
Prepare Coating: In a mixing bowl, combine breadcrumbs, minced garlic, thyme, and pepper. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Add Mustard: Stir in 3 tablespoons of Dijon mustard into the breadcrumb mixture until it forms a cohesive paste-like consistency.
-
Coat Lamb Chops: Brush each lamb chop generously with the remaining Dijon mustard, ensuring they are evenly coated on both sides.
-
Broil First Side: Place the lamb chops on a broiler pan or a baking sheet lined with foil. Broil for approximately 5 minutes, or until the tops are nicely browned and caramelized.
-
Flip and Top: Carefully flip the lamb chops over using tongs. Spread the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the tops of the chops, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Finish Under Broiler: Return the lamb chops to the broiler and continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the lamb reaches your desired level of doneness.
-
Serve: Once cooked to perfection, transfer the Mustard Lamb Chops to a serving platter and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the delectable flavors!
