Among the gastronomic memories of my childhood, these ham and cheese sandwiches They occupy a very special place. My grandmother prepared them, with all her care and care, and they drove me crazy. It hadn’t occurred to me to make them until today and, given the success they’ve had at home, I think they’re going to fall often.
They are a kind of ham and cheese sandwiches, battered and fried, very easy to prepare. They only require a handful of basic ingredients that it is quite probable that you have in your kitchens. A loaf of bread or, failing that, sliced bread, ham, cheese, egg, milk and oil.
It is one of those recipes that flies from the plate as it comes to the table, so I recommend making a large quantity. You are going to thank you. They are delicious freshly made, although they hold the type for a while. The filling can be adapted to taste, using the cheese that you like the most, as well as changing the ham for another cold cut.
Cut the loaf of bread into thin slices, less than 1 centimeter. We will have a bar left over, since we only need 12 units. Cut the ham slices in half and also the cheese slices. Fold the cheese and we wrap it in the ham (this way we reduce the risk of it coming out of the sandwich during frying).
We assemble the sandwiches by placing these packets of ham and cheese between two slices of bread. Beat the egg and milk and season to taste. Pass the sandwiches through the mixture, ensuring that they are well soaked and fry them in abundant hot oil. Drain well before serving.

With what to accompany ham and cheese sandwiches
Depending on the moment and the occasion in which they are going to be served, they can be accompanied or not. If you prepare the ham and cheese sandwiches for snacks, they are enough by themselves to satisfy the appetite. But if you are going to serve them as an appetizer, a very cool drink is fabulous for them. And if you serve them as a single dish at lunch or dinner, a light green leafy salad is a good option.
