Fried Pork Rolls with Ham
- Eight 1/2-inch-thick boneless pork loin chops (3 ounces each)
- Freshly ground pepper
- 8 thin slices of serrano ham
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 1/4 cups dry bread crumbs
- Pure olive oil, for frying
- Mayonnaise, for serving
- Working with 1 pork chop at a time, place in a resealable plastic bag and pound into a 1/4-inch-thick cutlet.
- Arrange the cutlets on a work surface and season with pepper.
- Cover each cutlet with a slice of ham and, starting with the short end, roll tightly into a cylinder.
- Dust with the flour.
- In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the milk.
- Put the bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
- Dip the pork rolls in the egg mixture, then in the bread crumbs, pressing them on lightly.
- Transfer to a plate.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of oil until shimmering.
- Add the pork rolls and fry over moderate heat, turning, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 155, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer the rolls to paper towels.
- Serve hot, with mayonnaise.
