Add 2 tablespoons parsley, the chives, tarragon, egg whites, pickles, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste.
• Combine the flour, the remaining 6 tablespoons parsley and a pinch of pepper in a shallow dish. In another dish, beat the remaining egg with the milk. Dip each piece of ham in the flour to coat both sides, then dip in the milk mixture and re-dip in the flour mixture.
