Breaded Roasted Peppers

Roasted peppers are a versatile and flavorful ingredient, and preparing them in a delicious way can transform any meal into a feast. We start by choosing quality peppers, preferably red or yellow, which have a sweet flavor and a meaty texture. After grilling or baking them, we let them cool, and then place them in a container to drain. This step is essential as it helps us remove excess water, preventing the rolls from becoming too wet.
Once the peppers have drained, we carefully open them, making sure not to tear them, and remove the seeds. Here comes the magic of seasoning: we sprinkle salt and pepper to taste, ensuring that the flavors combine perfectly. On each prepared pepper, we place a slice of ham, which will add a salty and savory note, followed by a slice of cheese, which will melt and create a creamy texture.
Now, it's time to carefully roll each pepper, making sure to seal the ends to keep the filling inside. This will facilitate the frying process, preventing the ingredients from leaking out. The resulting rolls will be dipped in a mixture of flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly coated, which will create a golden and crispy crust during frying.
In a deep pan, we heat the oil until it becomes hot but not smoking. It is important to maintain the oil temperature to achieve even frying. We carefully place the rolls in the hot oil and fry them until they are golden and crispy on all sides. Once they are ready, we remove them onto a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
To accompany these delicious rolls, we can prepare a side of boiled potatoes, which will add a contrast of texture, or a fragrant rice pilaf that perfectly complements the dish. Another delicious option would be crispy French fries, which will add extra flavor and consistency.
Regardless of the side dish choice, the roasted pepper rolls with ham and cheese will surely be a hit at your table. This simple yet sophisticated recipe will definitely impress family and friends. Enjoy your meal!
