📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare The Lamb
2
Preheat the oven to 350℉.
3
Trim the majority of the fat cap off the top of the lamb, then season generously on both sides with salt and pepper.
salt and pepper
4
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the lamb until browned on all sides.

5
In the meantime, combine breadcrumbs, lemon zest, mint, parsley, rosemary, salt, pepper and olive oil in a small bowl, then mix until well combined.

6
When the lamb is browned, remove it from the skillet and set on a roasting pan or baking sheet.
7
Spread the Dijon mustard over the top of the lamb in an even coating, then press the breadcrumb mixture on top.
8
Gently pat the breadcrumbs down so that they stick and form a crust. Let sit for about ⏱️ 10 minutes to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
9
Roast The Lamb
10
Roast on the top rack of the oven until the lamb reaches your desired internal temperature - 130℉ is perfect for medium-rare.
11
Remove from the oven and allow the lamb to rest for ⏱️ 10-15 minutes.
12
Carefully slice into double chops - you will lose some breadcrumbs in the process but that's okay.
13
Arrange on plates and top with any remaining breadcrumbs.
14
If using a larger rack of lamb or making more than one at a time, double the mustard and herb Panko breadcrumb mixture.
15
If the breadcrumbs are not browned by the time the meat is done, you can broil it until they turn golden. But watch closely - it can easily burn.
