Ingredients
San Jacobos with zucchini, ham and cheese: step by step
First of all, you have to wash the zucchini very well because you are not going to peel them. You dry them with absorbent paper and cut them into half-centimeter slices.
I recommend that when you split the zucchini, you match the slices so that when making the San Jacobos they have a similar size and are easier to coat and fry, they will also be more attractive.
In each slice you put a piece of ham and another of cheese and cover it with the slice that you have associated. You put a little salt on top.
As soon as you have all the sandwiches made, you are coating them. First you pass them through the flour, then through the beaten egg and finally through the breadcrumbs. You put them back on the tray so that the batter hardens a bit and makes it easier to brown them.
Fry them in abundant oil until they are well done on both sides. You have to do them with medium-low heat so that the zucchini softens and does not burn.
As soon as they are golden brown, you take them out of the pan and put them on a plate with absorbent paper to remove the excess oil.
My tips and tricks
- If you are not going to fry them right away, you can put them in the fridge so that they are more consistent and take on body.
- I recommend that you serve them hot because when cold they lose the texture of the melted cheese.
- You must cut the zucchini slices more or less the same so that when coating and frying it is easier for you.
Final score
And now you have the ham and cheese San Jacobos ready to serve. Enjoy!!!
