Instructions
- Melt Butter: Begin by melting the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the lamb loin chops to the skillet.
- Cook Lamb: Sear the lamb chops until they are beautifully browned on both sides, ensuring a rich flavor and appealing color.
- Reserve Drippings: After browning, carefully remove the lamb from the skillet and set aside, reserving the drippings for the next steps.
- Prepare Horseradish Sauce: To the reserved drippings, add the horseradish and mix thoroughly, creating a flavorful base for the lamb.
- Arrange Lamb: Grease a shallow casserole dish and arrange the lamb chops in it, setting the stage for the delicious sauce.
- Make Coffee Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, coffee, and egg yolks, whisking them together until well mixed.
- Thicken Sauce: Using a double boiler or a bowl set over boiling water, cook the coffee mixture while stirring constantly until it thickens to a rich consistency.
- Combine Sauces: Incorporate the coffee sauce with the horseradish mixture in the skillet, blending the flavors seamlessly.
- Pour Sauce Over Lamb: Generously pour the combined coffee and horseradish sauce over the arranged lamb chops in the casserole dish.
- Top with Parmesan: Finish by sprinkling the Parmesan cheese over the lamb, adding a creamy and savory touch.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the casserole for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the cheese to melt to perfection.
