Appetizers - Ham and cheese rolls by Octaviana N. - Recipia

Ham and cheese rolls are breaded twice and fried until they have a golden crust. Inside, the cheese softens against the ham, while the crisp crust holds the roll closed and breaks easily when you cut into it. I choose fairly wide slices of ham so they wrap around the cheese well. Prep: 15 minutes. Cook: 15 minutes. Total: 30 minutes. Serves: 3. About 520 kcal and 28 g of protein per serving.

Ingredients

2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
60 g flour
100 g breadcrumbs
6 slices ham
6 slices cheese
300 ml oil

Preparation

1. Beat the eggs in a deep dish with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. 2. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in two separate dishes. 3. Place a slice of cheese on each slice of ham and roll up tightly. 4. Coat each roll in flour, then egg and breadcrumbs. Dip it in egg and breadcrumbs a second time. 5. Heat 300 ml of oil in a frying pan over medium heat for 3 minutes, until it shimmers on the surface. 6. Fry the rolls in two batches, for 3 minutes on each side, until golden. Transfer them to a paper towel.

Notes

I serve them with green salad, which goes well with the fried crust. Choose flexible, wide enough slices of ham; very small ones won’t wrap around the cheese well. It’s easy to rush the second coating in egg and breadcrumbs, so cover the ends well too. They contain gluten, eggs and dairy. Store the rolls in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days; when reheating, a dry pan keeps the crust crisper than the microwave.
