"Based on a recipe from Bon Appetit’s May 1987 issue in the Too Busy To Cook section, courtesy of Marie Zrallek King, Northridge, California. I confess that I brushed olive oil over the lamb chops before dunking them in the topping, only because the topping looked so scrumptious! DH likes these a lot, BTW!."

O'kay did no make this exactly to recipe but it was great and all the basics are there. I had 9 lamb loin chops for 3 of us and scaled the recipe up for 4 but only used 3 egg and did have to use dry parsley (2 teaspoons) and this is where I diverted - I coated 1 side of the chops and then placed in a lightly oiled baking dish (they were well packed in the dish - tight fit), the rest of the mix I pressed over the top of the chops, covered with alfoil and baked at 175C fan forced for 50 minutes, removed the foil and put under the baked for a further 10 or so minutes to brown the crumb mix) and the result was very moist succulent chops with just a touch of pink (how I like them - and oh the chops where about 2cm [3/4"] thick). On the side served recipe #395068 and recipe #291036. Thank you mersaydees for a great recipe, made for Ausie/Kiwi Swap #41 June 2010.
