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
Directions
Step 1
Begin by patting the ham steak dry with paper towels. This will help the coating adhere better.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the egg until the yolk and white are thoroughly mixed.
Step 4
Dip each piece of ham steak into the beaten egg, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the ham from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Garnish the fried ham with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating.
