Ingredients
- • Lamb loin chops: 4 (approximately 1 inch thick)
- • Bacon strips: 8
- • Blue cheese: 1/2 cup, crumbled
- • Unsalted butter: 1/2 cup, at room temperature
- • Fresh rosemary: 1 teaspoon, finely chopped
- • Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Salt: 1 teaspoon
- • Black pepper: 1/2 teaspoon
- • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
Instructions
- 1 Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a crispy bacon exterior while keeping the lamb juicy and tender.
- 2 In a small bowl, mix the blue cheese, softened butter, rosemary, and garlic powder until well combined. Set aside in the refrigerator to firm up slightly.
- 3 Season the lamb chops with salt and pepper on both sides. Wrap each chop with two strips of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
- 4 Lightly brush or spray the bacon-wrapped lamb chops with olive oil to enhance browning in the air fryer.
- 5 Place the lamb chops in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the lamb reaches your desired doneness (medium-rare recommended).
- 6 Remove the lamb from the air fryer and let it rest for 5 minutes. Top each chop with a generous spoonful of the blue cheese butter, allowing it to melt before serving.
Serving Suggestions
- • Serve these decadent bacon-wrapped lamb chops with a side of creamy mashed potatoes or a simple arugula salad with balsamic vinaigrette to balance the richness. For a beverage pairing, consider a full-bodied red wine like a Cabernet Sauvignon or a Malbec, which will complement the lamb’s earthy flavors and the sharpness of the blue cheese butter. For an extra touch, garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs or a sprinkle of cracked black pepper. This dish makes a stunning centerpiece at any dinner table, perfect for impressing guests or celebrating a special occasion.
Storage Tips
Store any leftover lamb chops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the chops in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until heated through, to maintain their crispy texture. Avoid microwaving as it can make the bacon soggy.
