About the dish

Kloppschinken is a traditional dish originating from Uckermark. The dish is usually made with a combination of ham (boiled or smoked), milk, nutmeg, eggs, breadcrumbs, and oil. The ham is marinated in a mixture of milk and nutmeg, dried, pounded, and dipped into beaten eggs and breadcrumbs. Both sides of the ham slices should be well coated. The slices of breaded ham are then fried in oil on each side until golden. The dish is served while still hot and it's often paired with applesauce. In the past, this was a special treat that was prepared on Sundays and holidays.
