Zabonotyrofloyeres: Ham And Cheese Flutes

• 26 -27 thin slices boiled ham, sandwich-sized slices
• 2 lbs of soft yellow cheese (gouda or other)
• 1 lb phyllo pastry sheet, defrosted
• 10 egg whites
• 1/2 cup water
• olive oil (for frying)
• 2 - 2 1/2 lbs of grated kefalotyri cheese (or other sharp grating cheese)

1. Cut each sheet of phyllo into 3 long strips. (Keep unused phyllo covered with a sheet of plastic wrap topped with a damp towel while working to keep the phyllo sheets from drying out.).
2. Cut each piece of ham in half.
3. Cut the cheese into small finger-shaped pieces.
4. Place the grated cheese in a shallow bowl.
5. Place one piece of ham and a piece of cheese at one end of the phyllo strip and roll up.
6. Twist the ends slightly and tuck under; continue until all ham and cheese has been used, keeping prepared "flutes" well covered with plastic wrap.
7. Whisk together the egg whites and water.
8. Dip the flutes into the egg whites and roll in grated cheese.
9. Fry quickly in very hot oil - enough so that they don't stick on the bottom of the pan - until golden.
