Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut ham slices
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 0.33 cup olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Pat the ham slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream until well combined and slightly frothy.
Dip each ham slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Pour the olive oil into a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the ham slices into the skillet. Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Use a spatula to carefully remove the ham slices from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm, and enjoy your Keto Crispy Fried Ham!
