Potato-Ham-Cheese Bake


Ingredients:


600 g potatoes
75 g grated cheddar cheese
44 g grated parmesan cheese
150 g shaved ham, chopped
1/2 medium onion, chopped
250 ml cream
salt and pepper


Method:

1. Grease the base and side of your bake ware. I used a 24 cm diameter glass bake ware.
2. Peel and halve potatoes. Boil them until tender, drain and allow them to cool before cutting into 1 cm thick slices.
3. Combine both types of cheese in a bowl.
4. Cover the base of your bake ware with a layer of potato slices. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Top with ham and onion. Sprinkle with one third of your combined cheeses.
6. Continue layering ingredients. Seasoning each layer of potatoes. Finishing with a layer of cheese.
7. Use a fork to beat eggs and cream until combined. Gently pour mixture over ingredients in bake ware.
8. Bake for 50-60 minutes in preheated oven of 180 degrees Celsius, until the top is golden brown and egg mixture has set.
9. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from bake ware and serve.


Potato, cheese, ham, egg and cream. A perfect combination for a sure good outcome.
I couldn't find cheddar and parmesan cheese therefore I replaced them with Mozzarella and Edam cheese.
You may add bacon to your chopped ham.
