Ohhh yes 😏—garlic parmesan fried lamb chops are a game-changer: crispy, savory, garlicky, with a cheesy punch. Here’s a solid recipe:
Garlic Parmesan Fried Lamb Chops
Ingredients (4 servings)
- 4 lamb chops (½–1 inch thick)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika (optional, for color)
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crunch)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2–3 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
- Lemon wedges (for serving)
How to Make
- Prep the chops
- Pat lamb chops dry with paper towels.
- Lightly season with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up dredging station
- Bowl 1: flour + paprika
- Bowl 2: beaten eggs
- Bowl 3: breadcrumbs + Parmesan + minced garlic + parsley
- Coat the chops
- Dredge lamb in flour → dip in egg → press into Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
- Fry the chops
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry lamb chops 3–4 min per side (for medium-rare) or 5–6 min (medium), until golden brown and crispy.
- Optional: finish in 375°F oven for 5 min if thicker chops.
- Serve
- Sprinkle extra Parmesan and parsley on top.
- Squeeze fresh lemon for brightness.
Tips & Variations
- Garlic kick: add garlic powder to flour mix for extra depth.
- Herb twist: rosemary or thyme pairs beautifully with lamb.
- Crunch factor: use half panko, half regular breadcrumbs.
- Oven version: Bake at 400°F for 15–20 min for a lighter, less oily version.
If you want, I can give a super indulgent restaurant-style version where the Parmesan forms a crust that literally cracks when you bite—it’s insane 😏.
Do you want that version?
