Put a large nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat and add half the oil.
- When oil shimmers, dip a piece of lamb in eggs, then press both sides into bread crumbs. Put the slices in the skillet; do not crowd. Season with salt, pepper and cumin.
- As each slice browns, flip it. Adjust heat so that each side browns in about 2 minutes. Keep finished pieces warm in the oven. Add the remaining oil to the pan when necessary. Serve with parsley and lemon slices.

- As the meat browns, flip it and brown the other side; adjust the heat so that each side browns in about 2 minutes; the meat should remain rare.

BREADED LAMB CUTLETS
This central European dish brings the breading technique to lamb, a meat with enough flavor and tenderness to taste great underneath a crunchy exterior. While cuts of meat from the loin or leg can be used, the medallions of meat from the rack are far superior in texture. It's not unusual to finish the dish with a sprinkle of white wine sauce, but you can skip that and simply squeeze some lemon juice over the lamb; that's what I usually do.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°F. If using medallions from racks, press to a 1/2-inch thickness with the palm of your hand. If using cuts from the loin or leg, place the meat between sheets of wax paper and pound to a 1/2-inch thickness with a mallet or rolling pin. Place a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the oil, cumin, thyme, and garlic.
- When the oil shimmers, remove the garlic and discard. Dip the lamb pieces into the egg, press into the bread crumbs on both sides, and add to the skillet. Do not crowd-you will have to cook in batches. When the meat is in the skillet, season it with salt and pepper and sprinkle it with a pinch of cumin.
- Brown one side, then flip and brown the other; adjust the heat so that each side takes about 2 minutes. The meat should remain rare. Remove the pieces, drain, and then transfer to a warm platter in the oven. When all the pieces are done, drain the oil from the pan, leaving the browned bits, and then add the wine to the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer until it reduces by half, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Garnish the lamb with the parsley if you like and serve it alongside the wine sauce and lemon wedges.

- Use a light touch when breading the lamb medallions: Do not over-bread the lamb medallions, as this can make them tough. Simply coat the lamb medallions in the breadcrumb mixture and then shake off any excess.
- Cook the lamb medallions over medium heat: This will help to prevent the lamb medallions from becoming tough or overcooked.
- Serve the lamb medallions immediately: Once the lamb medallions are cooked, serve them immediately with your favorite sides. This will ensure that the lamb medallions are hot and juicy.
