Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Season the rack of lamb generously with salt and black pepper.

Heat olive oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Sear the lamb for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.

Remove the lamb from the skillet and let it cool slightly.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary, 1 tablespoon chopped thyme, and 4 tablespoons melted butter.

Brush the lamb with 2 tablespoons of mustard and coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.

Place the lamb back in the skillet and roast in the oven for 30-40 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.

Let the lamb rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Serve with a drizzle of lemon juice over the top.
