In a bowl, pour the meat and squeezed bread, add the chopped parsley, diced ham, and the egg, mix well adjusting with salt.
Shape the mixture into balls, coat with flour, then dip in beaten egg and cover with breadcrumbs. Heat the oil in a pan and start frying, cook until golden brown, once cooked drain on absorbent paper.
Notes
I recommend enjoying them hot, but they are delicious even cold. If you have leftovers, store in the refrigerator in a closed container.
