A classic in many houses, the San Jacobo is a quick and easy recipe To prepare. Perfect to say goodbye to precooked and frozen foods and encourage yourself to make it at home.
The traditional filling is cooked ham and Gruyere cheeseboth sliced, but can be varied to taste.
There are versions with Serrano ham and other cheeses that are extremely tasty. We, however, have been faithful to the classic. At least on this occasion. The ingredients are few and humble, the result depends on their quality, so we recommend getting the best possible cooked ham and cheese. Once in your kitchens, the preparation of the Homemade Saint James it is sewing and singing.
Cut the slices of ham into squares of equal size. Cut the cheese slices into squares slightly smaller and place them on half of the cheese slices. Cover with the rest of the ham and press lightly with the palm of your hand.
we spend every sandwich by flour, removing the excess, by beaten egg and by breadcrumbs. We can make a second layer of batter passing each San Jacobo again through egg and breadcrumbs to ensure that they are well covered, but this is optional.
Heat plenty of oil in a frying pan and fry the San Jacobos at high temperature. Turn to brown on both sides and remove to a plate with absorbent paper. Wait a couple of minutes for them to absorb the excess fat and serve hot.

With what to accompany the homemade San Jacobo
As with all empanadas, we recommend avoiding the fries and accompanying the Homemade Saint James of a light salad to nutritionally balance the dish.
A simple mixed salad is fine, but we also encourage you to try a purifying salad with tahini dressing or a side dish as versatile as green beans with mint dressing.
