Very tasty. Can I replace the ham with pastrami and instead of fried make them in the oven? I am of legal age and I take care of my cholesterol.
Thank you and I await your response.
Hello Ana! I don't know exactly what pastrami is but from what I've searched the internet it looks a bit like the shredded meat from here but from veal. You could use it without any problem, but the thing in the oven ... I can't really tell you since the two layers that surround it is a thick béchamel and even when it is breaded, it may be that it can melt. I can advise you to try it with a couple of them at a low temperature, but I can't tell you what the result would be. Thanks for following us!! 😀
