• lay lamb chops flat your work surface. use the tip of a sharp boning or paring knife to cut a pocket in each lamb chop making a 2 inch slit in the side.
• mix mushrooms, swiss cheese, parsley, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt in a bowl; stuff lamb chops with mushroom mixture. secure the open side with a toothpick.
• whisk eggs in a bowl; pour bread crumbs into a separate bowl. dip the stuffed lamb chops into the beaten egg; press lamb chops into bread crumbs until completely coated.
• heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; place lamb chops, pocket side-down, into the hot oil. cook until outside of lamb chops is browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
• pour in enough to come halfway up lamb chops. reduce heat to low, cover skillet, and simmer until lamb chops are tender, about 2 hours. check level occasionally and add more as needed. an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees f (63 degrees c).
