I select the San Jacobo because it is my favourite food in my old school canteen since I was 7 years old.

San Jacobo Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 big slices of ham (like for sandwiches)
- 8 slices of cheese (like Cheddar or Gruyere, or any that melts good)
- 2 eggs
- 2 spoons of flour
- breadcrumbs
- oil for frying
Elaboration
- Take 3 big bowls: one with flour, one with eggs you have to beat, and one with breadcrumbs. Make sure it´s enough for the san jacobos.
- Put a slice of ham on a plate. Cover the ham with two slices of cheese and cover with another slice of ham.
- Put the San Jacobo in the flour, make sure are covered, especially the edges.
- Then, put the San Jacobo in the beaten egg and then roll it with breadcrumbs. Be careful with the edges
- Do the same for all the san jacobos.
- Heat lots of oil in a pan. If you got a cooking thermometer, it should be 170-175°C.
- Fry the san jacobos on medium heat. They be ready in a few minutes, just wait untill is golden on both sides.
- Put them on paper to take off extra oil.
