Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Thick ham slices
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Olive oil
Instructions
Start by patting the ham slices dry with paper towels to ensure they are free from excess moisture.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to distribute the spices evenly.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with the heavy cream until smooth and well combined.
Dip each ham slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Transfer the egg-coated ham slice to the almond flour mixture, pressing down to coat all sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour and set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. To test if it's ready, sprinkle a bit of the almond flour mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
Carefully place each ham slice into the hot oil. Fry for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they turn golden brown and crispy.
Once fried, place the crispy ham slices on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your sugar-free crispy fried ham with your favorite sides.
