Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ham steak
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 each Lemon wedges
Instructions
Begin by patting the ham steak dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere better.
In a shallow bowl or plate, combine the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are thoroughly mixed.
Dip each piece of ham steak into the beaten egg, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
Immediately transfer the egg-coated ham to the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure a good coverage on all sides. Shake off any excess coating.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated ham steaks to the skillet.
Fry the ham for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the coating is golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
Once cooked, remove the ham from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Garnish the fried ham with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
