Crispy Lamb Chops With Thyme Sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Mix well to incorporate all the flavors.

3. In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs to create an egg wash.

4. Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Dip each chop into the egg wash, making sure to coat it completely.

5. Next, coat the lamb chops in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere to the meat.

6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the lamb chops and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

7. Transfer the seared lamb chops to the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven. Roast for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches your desired level of doneness.

8. While the lamb chops are roasting, make the thyme sauce. In the same skillet used to sear the chops, add chicken or vegetable broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

9. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and butter. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.

10. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste, and add more fresh thyme leaves for an extra burst of flavor.

11. Once the lamb chops are done, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

12. Plate the crispy lamb chops and drizzle the luscious thyme sauce over the top.
