Method
- 1
Lay out half the beef slices and top each with a layer of serrano ham and grated cheddar, then cover with the remaining beef slices to make four sandwiches, pressing the edges to seal.
- 2
Dust each sandwich with flour, dip in the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly in breadcrumbs.
- 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan and fry the cachopos for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through with no pink meat remaining.
- 4
Drain on kitchen paper briefly, then cut in half to check the cheese is melted and serve immediately.
