Ham amp Cheese Flutes Flogeres Recipe

How to make it

---

• Prepare ingredients:
• 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.)
• Cut each piece of ham in half.
• Cut the cheese into small finger-shaped pieces.
• Place the grated cheese in a shallow bowl.
• Place one piece of ham and a piece of cheese at one end of the phyllo strip and roll up.
• Twist the ends slightly and tuck under.
• Continue until all ham and cheese has been used, keeping prepared "flutes" well covered with plastic wrap.
• Whisk together the egg whites and water.
• Dip the flutes into the egg whites and roll in grated cheese.
• Fry quickly in very hot oil - enough so that they don't stick on the bottom of the pan - until golden.
• Yield: about 40 pieces
• Make Ahead: Flutes can be formed in the phyllo a few days ahead, and kept covered (airtight) in the refrigerator.
• Dip in egg whites and grated cheese and fry just before serving.
