Flatbread with ham

Cookinero 9 Mar 2025

The peculiarity of kefir flatbreads with ham is that they are fried in a frying pan. The flatbread turns out to be filling due to the tasty and juicy filling of ham and cheese. The main thing is quality products. The meat should be pink, without an unpleasant smell, without spots and yellow-brown inclusions. Fresh ham is soft. Also choose elastic cheese, without mucus or dryness. If the label says "cheese product", refrain from buying. Dutch or Russian cheese is better suited for flatbreads.

To make it vegetarian, simply omit the ham or replace it with a plant-based alternative like sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or vegetarian deli slices.
Yes, these flatbreads freeze well. Let them cool completely, then wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Reheat in a skillet or oven.
For the best texture, reheat them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes per side. Avoid the microwave, as it can make them soggy.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat before serving for the best texture.
