Rice Paper Croque Madame

Ingredients

• 2 hojas Rice paper
• 2 Eggs (One for coating the rice paper and another to place in the center.)
• 40 g Turkey breast (It can also be replaced with lean cooked ham.)
• 1 loncha Light cheese (Approximately 20 g.)
• 15 g Mustard or sugar-free sweet mustard (Use enough to spread; the author mentions GymBeam mustard.)
• 10 g Sesame seeds (To taste, for covering the surface and achieving a crispy finish.)
• Salt (To taste.)
• Black pepper (To taste.)

Steps

1. 1

   Crack one of the eggs into a wide dish and beat it until the egg white and yolk are fully combined. It will be used as an egg wash for the rice paper.

2. 2

   Spread a layer of sesame seeds over a cutting board or flat surface so that the sheets can be placed directly on top of them.

3. 3

   Dip both rice paper sheets into the beaten egg, wetting them on both sides. Immediately place them on the sesame seeds so the seeds adhere.

4. 4

   Spread the sugar-free mustard over the rice paper. Add the slice of light cheese and the turkey breast, leaving a small space free in the center for the second egg.

5. 5

   Fold the edges of the rice paper inward, like a parcel or envelope, until the filling is enclosed and a central cavity remains open.

6. 6

   Crack the second egg into the central cavity. Sprinkle more sesame seeds and black pepper on top; add salt to taste.

7. 7

   Preheat the air fryer to 200 °C. Carefully place the parcel in the basket, taking care not to break the egg or the rice paper.

8. 8

   Cook at 200 °C for 7-10 minutes. Do not lower the temperature: the high heat helps the rice paper puff up and become very crispy on the outside, while the center remains tender and the egg can stay runny.

9. 9

   Carefully remove and serve immediately, while the exterior is golden and crispy.
