Crispy Cheese and Ham Balls

Separate your eggs. Mix the yolks with 1 tablespoon of flour, salt, and pepper.

Whip the whites until you've got stiff peaks. Grate the cheese finely, fold it into the whites along with the remaining flour — be gentle with it.

Cut the ham into small dice.

Take a spoonful of the cheese mixture, flatten it, drop a piece of ham in the middle, and roll it into a ball. Keep going with the rest.

Dip each ball into the yolk mixture, then roll it in breadcrumbs.

Heat your oil in a deep skillet or pot.

Fry the balls in small batches for 30–60 seconds, stirring occasionally, until they're golden brown all over.
