This was my first time serving lamb at a formal table (filled with Italians who are famous for their culinary discretion). It was a major hit and the overall adjective was 'exquisite'; the highest compliment an Italian knows how to give for their food. This recipe is a winner! The only change I made was on the cooking temperature and times at the suggestion of my butcher: 390F, 200C for 55 minutes on a rack for 8 people. A longer cooking time gave me the opportunity to enjoy cocktails as well as the first soup course with my guests and the lamb was ready to serve at just the right time. I served it with a mint sauce.

Loved this easy recipe for lamb. I needed to cook quite a bit longer for med/rare. Didn't have breadcrumbs, but didn't miss them either. Used thyme instead of rosemary 'cause it was what I had.

I made this for our anniversary. I couldn't find a rack of lamb so went with a lamb chop. When I followed the instructions, I lost all the breading in the pan. With the second batch, I skipped the searing part, coated the chop first and went straight into the pan. I left it covered for about 10 minutes on medium heat before flipping and cooking an additional 5 minutes. The coating stayed on and was quite tasty. For the bread-less chops, they also had a very nice flavor (and I don't care much for lamb but I'll prepare it again using this recipe).

Second time having lamb (first time was awful) and this recipe was great. We have food allergies, so I had to make a couple substitions: Chex rice in place of bread crumbs, omitted garlic, used aged balsamic vinegar in place of mustard. The lamb was a little too pink for me, so I seared the individual chops on the stovetop after baking.

Just a great recipe, when we have lamb chops this is the only one to use. I always make a beefstock and red wine gravy to go with this. wonderful :)

This was hands down the best thing I have ever made. I used whole wheat bread crumbs because that is all I had and I'm glad I did because the topping came out very crispy and dark. I cooked it very rare and everyone agreed that it was the best lamb they have ever had. Thanks so much for this recipe.

This turned out terrific. My first time ever cooking or eating lamb. I wanted to try something new and different for Easter this year and this was it. The entire family raved on how good it turned out. I followed the advise of others and added minced garlic to the pan along with a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce. Yummy, yummy it tasted good and it's now in my tummy. However, either my oven tempeture is not set correctly or the time recommended is off for the size of Rack Of Lamb (2.38lbs) that I purchased. The lamb was room tempeture prior to cooking. Even so, when it was all said and done it took approx. 1hr to cook the lamb to medium well. Other than having to warm up my entire Easter meal over again twice. Everything tuned out delishiously. The Rack of Lamb was worth the wait. I'm well please. Thank you for posting. This is deffinetly a keeper and possibly the beginning of an Easter dinner tradition.

This lamb dish deserves its 5-star rating - I used honey mustard since I didn't have dijon, and it was incredible. It's on the menu for Easter this year. Loved it!
