Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 8 lamb chops
  • ¼ c olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Parmesan Topping:

  • 1 c parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 c provolone cheese shredded, mozzarella or any melty white cheese will work!
  • 1/2 c heavy cream

Panko Breadcrumb topping:

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp butter melted
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • Pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • In a large bowl or ziploc bag add the lamb chops and all the marinade ingredients. Place in the fridge and marinate for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

  • Remove from the fridge at least 20 minutes before cooking. Shake off excess marinade.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place one of the racks near the top of the oven.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot add a little olive oil and begin to sear the lamb chops. Sear them for about 1 - 1 ½ minutes on each side. Remove from the heat and set aside.

  • In a bowl combine the ingredients for the parmesan topping. Mix together until it’s almost like a creamy paste.

  • In another bowl combine the panko breadcrumb topping. Stir until well incorporated.
  • Take the lamb chops and add them to an oven safe dish or baking sheet. Top each with the parmesan topping and then the panko topping. Press the panko topping into the cheese topping.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until it reaches your desired doneness and the top is nice and golden brown. I baked it for about 7 minutes because I like my lamb chops on the medium well side. I then broiled them for 1 minute. The internal temperature should be at least 145 degrees according to the usda, that would be medium well.
