About

In this recipe, lamb cutlets are first coated in breadcrumbs and fried until crisp, then topped with mozzarella and prosciutto before being given a few moments in the oven to melt the cheese to a satisfying ooze. You could use tiny cutlets for a party dish that can be eaten with the fingers - just reduce the cooking time.
