Pat the crumb mixture evenly over the mustard and arrange the lamb, crumb side up, in a roasting pan. Roast the lamb in the middle of a preheated 475F. oven for 15 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 130 to 135 for medium-rare meat, transfer it carefully to a cutting board, and let it stand, uncovered, for 10 minutes.

Cut the lamb between the ribs and divide it between 2 plates.
