Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices ham slices
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Start by preparing the breading station. In a shallow bowl, place the flour. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk until well combined. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Take each ham slice and coat it lightly with flour, shaking off excess.
Dip the floured ham slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated.
Finally, press the ham slice into the seasoned breadcrumbs, covering it completely and pressing lightly to adhere the crumbs.
Repeat the breading process for each ham slice.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until hot.
Carefully add the breaded ham slices to the skillet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Fry the ham slices for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the ham slices from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the crispy fried ham immediately, enjoying it as a standalone dish or paired with your favorite sides.
