Yield Makes 32 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 lb thinly sliced serrano ham
About 1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 (1/2-lb) wedge Manchego cheese*, chilled
4 teaspoons quince preserves or membrillo** (quince paste)

Steps:

  • Cut ham into 32 (3- by 2- by 2-inch) triangles. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then fry ham in 4 batches, turning occasionally, until crisp and a shade darker, about 1 minute. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Using a cheese plane or vegetable peeler, shave 32 small pieces of cheese from wedge. (Each piece should be about 1 inch square.) Top each ham chip with 1/8 teaspoon quince preserves, then press cheese squares into preserves.

The chips were a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time I will use less chili powder.

I thought the chips were a bit bland. I added some extra seasoning and they were much better.
