Before you start wrapping the cheese in the tri-wrap, use the ham. Cut the cheese in half and place a slice of ham inside to differentiate the dish from the usual standard. Only then wrap the cheese thoroughly and start frying. Use oil or clarified butter. The temperature should be around 150 °C to 160 °C. Fry the cheese on both sides until golden brown, making sure it doesn't run out. When you fry it, put it on a paper napkin for a whileto rid it of excess oil.
