Ingredients

• 8 pieces Lamb cutlets
• 100 grams Plain flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 150 grams Breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 100 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a breading station with three separate shallow bowls: in the first, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper; in the second, whisk together the eggs and milk; in the third, mix the breadcrumbs, parsley, and Parmesan cheese.

Step 2

Pat the lamb cutlets dry with a paper towel and trim any excess fat.

Step 3

Dredge each lamb cutlet first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 4

Place the breaded lamb cutlets on a plate or tray and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the coating to adhere properly.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 6

Cook the lamb cutlets in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked to your desired doneness. Remove and drain on a plate lined with paper towels.

Step 7

Serve the breaded lamb cutlets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for added brightness.
