Ingredients

• 200 grams Ham
• 150 grams Cheddar cheese
• 50 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 2 large Eggs
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Finely chop the ham and grate the Cheddar cheese. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the ham, cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and stir in the milk.

Step 4

Form the ham and cheese mixture into small, round patties, about 5 cm in diameter.

Step 5

Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for the egg and milk mixture, and one for breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Dip each patty into the flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Shake off excess flour.

Step 7

Next, dip the floured patty into the egg mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off.

Step 8

Finally, coat the patty in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere. Repeat with all patties.

Step 9

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Test the oil with a small breadcrumb—if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Step 10

Fry the patties in batches, cooking for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 11

Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
