Directions
1Lightly sprinkle both sides of ham steak with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
2Place the flour mixture, egg, and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Dredge each ham steak in the flour, the egg, and the breadcrumbs, coating both sides and all edges at each stage. Be careful not to press the breadcrumbs into the meat. Gently shake off the excess crumbs.
3Heat the oil to 330°F (no hotter or the schnitzel will burn before the meat is done, not lower or the schnitzel will absorb the oil and be greasy). Use just enough oil so that the schnitzels “swim” in it. Fry the schnitzel for about 2-3 minutes on both sides until a deep golden brown. Transfer briefly to a plate lined with paper towels.
4Serve immediately topped with mushroom gravy and garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Avoid completely drenching the schnitzel with gravy so that the schnitzel remains crispy.
5Pro tip: Make your own gravy if you have time!
