Delectable Fried Windmills: A Surprising Treat for Your Guests!
Are you ready to prepare a delightful and unexpected appetizer that is sure to impress your guests? These “Fried Windmills” made with tortillas, cheese, beef, and mayonnaise are not just simple to make, but their luscious flavor will definitely be a hit at any gathering! Here’s how to whip them up:
Ingredients:
- Flatbreads or tortillas
- 150 g (⅔ cup) mayonnaise
- 6 slices of cheese
- 10 slices of beef
- 2 eggs
- Vegetable oil for frying
Method:
Step 1: Evenly Spread the Flavors
Begin by spreading a generous, yet thin layer of mayonnaise on each tortilla. This not only adds flavor but also helps in binding the cheese and beef to the tortillas.
Step 2: Layer with Hearty Fillings
Next, arrange slices of beef and cheese uniformly on the tortillas, ensuring every bite will be equally satisfying with its hearty fillings.
Step 3: Roll and Slice to Perfection
Carefully roll up each tortilla to encapsulate the ingredients inside. Once you have a neat roll, use a sharp knife to slice them into bite-sized pieces, making them ready for frying.
Step 4: Fry to Golden Perfection
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Dip each of your tortilla rolls into the beaten eggs, ensuring they are well-coated. Then, fry them in preheated oil, turning occasionally, until they achieve a tempting golden brown hue on all sides, which should take about 6-8 minutes.
Serving Suggestion:
Arrange your fried windmills neatly on a serving platter and perhaps offer a dipping sauce on the side – a spicy salsa or a creamy garlic sauce would pair wonderfully. Consider garnishing the plate with fresh herbs or vegetables for an extra pop of color and freshness!
A Few Tips:
- Ensure your oil is adequately heated before starting to fry to avoid the rolls from soaking up excess oil.
- Be mindful of not overcrowding the pan while frying to ensure each piece cooks evenly.
- Allow the windmills to drain on a paper towel after frying to remove any excess oil.
These fried windmills are not only a feast for the eyes but also incredibly flavorful with their crispy exteriors and sumptuous, melty interiors. A perfect appetizer that’s bound to have your guests reaching for seconds, and maybe even thirds! Enjoy your cooking and the smiles of surprise from your guests as they savor this tasty treat!
