Instructions:

1. Prepare the Coating:

   • In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
   • Place the flour in another dish for dredging.

2. Coat the Lamb Chops:

   • Pat the lamb chops dry with a paper towel.
   • Dredge each chop in flour, shaking off excess.
   • Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage.
   • Finally, coat with the garlic-Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

3. Fry the Lamb Chops:

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Fry lamb chops for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
   • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

4. Serve:

   • Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a zesty touch.
   • Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or a fresh salad.

Tips:

• For extra crispiness, double-coat the chops by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
• Use an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, flipping halfway for a healthier option.
• Let the lamb rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juiciness.
