Step 1:

How do you make lavash triangles with ham and cheese? Gather all the ingredients listed in the recipe. Instead of ham, you can use any deli sausage, boiled or smoked. A hard cheese works well, but soft mozzarella makes for a really interesting, delicious version too.
Step 2:

Grate the cheese and ham on the coarse side of a box grater.
Step 3:

Crack the egg into a deep bowl and stir. Add a pinch of salt. At this point I like to add a mix of ground peppercorns, garlic powder, and dried herbs like basil, oregano, or herbes de Provence. Mix everything well.
Step 4:

Cut the lavash into even, matching rectangles. Neat, pretty triangles come from strips about 6 inches (15 cm) long and 3 inches (7 cm) wide.
Step 5:

Mix the ham and cheese together.
Step 6:

Place the cheese-and-ham filling on the end of a lavash strip.
Step 7:

Fold the corner of the lavash over as shown in the photo.
Step 8:

Keep folding.
Step 9:

Fold it side over side, flag-fold style.
Step 10:

Continue until you've formed a triangle. Make triangles from all the strips this way.
Step 11:

Dip the triangles in the egg mixture, coating all sides.
Step 12:

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet. If your pan has a wide bottom, you may need a bit more oil than the recipe calls for. Set the triangles in to fry over medium heat. Cook until the sides are browned.
Step 13:

Flip the triangles and cook until golden brown on the other side.
Step 14:

Done! Serve them while they're still hot!

Serve the lavash triangles with fresh herbs and vegetables. They're delicious with sweet tea or a cup of coffee. A wonderful breakfast for the whole family is ready! Enjoy!
How can you tell if an egg is fresh? Crack it into a separate bowl. First and foremost, there should be no off smell. The white of a fresh egg is clear and clean, and the yolk should hold together — shiny, domed, and even.
If you use a store-bought spice blend, read the label — these often already contain salt, so account for that or you risk over-salting the dish.
Use a high-smoke-point oil for frying. Every oil is only healthy up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds. Unrefined oils, with few exceptions, have a low smoke point: they're full of unfiltered particles that scorch quickly. Refined oils stand up to heat better and have a higher smoke point. Whether you're baking, pan-frying, or grilling, use an oil with a high smoke point. Common ones include refined sunflower, olive, and grapeseed oil.
