Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) for conventional ovens or 160°C (320°F) for convection ovens. Line a baking tray with baking paper to prevent sticking.
2
In a large, shallow bowl, mix together the dry whole grain breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, Chinese five spice powder, and finely chopped chives. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk the egg until lightly beaten.
4
Dip each trimmed lamb cutlet into the whisked egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
5
Arrange the coated lamb cutlets on the prepared baking tray, ensuring they are spaced apart for even cooking. Lightly spray the tops of the cutlets with canola oil cooking spray to help them brown.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the lamb is browned and cooked through, turning the cutlets halfway to ensure even cooking.
