🍖 Garlic Parmesan Fried Lamb Chops
Ingredients (serves 2–3)
-
6 lamb chops (about 1-inch thick)
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tbsp water or milk
-
1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning
-
1 tsp salt
-
½ tsp black pepper
-
3 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
-
Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
-
Prep the lamb chops: Pat the lamb chops dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
-
Set up dredging stations:
-
Place the flour in one shallow bowl.
-
In a second bowl, whisk eggs and water (or milk) together.
-
In a third bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and minced garlic.
-
-
Dredge the chops:
-
Coat each chop in flour, shaking off excess.
-
Dip into the egg mixture.
-
Press both sides into the garlic Parmesan mixture, making sure it sticks well.
-
-
Fry the chops:
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Add the chops and fry about 3–4 minutes per side (depending on thickness) until golden brown and cooked to your preferred doneness (medium-rare is about 145°F internal temp).
-
Adjust time for thicker chops or preferred doneness.
-
-
Rest and serve:
-
Transfer chops to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
-
Garnish with chopped parsley if you like.
-
Tips
-
For extra crispiness, add a bit of breadcrumbs to the Parmesan mix.
-
Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.
-
You can finish the chops in the oven at 375°F for 5-7 minutes if you want to ensure doneness without over-frying.
