Potato, Ham and Broccoli Gratin

Total time: 1 hour 10 minutes
    A bit of cutting and slicing, add flour and cover with milk and cheese.  What could be easier?  An hour later a dinner, piping hot and creamy, pops out of the oven, ready to serve.

 Ingredients:

• 2 medium potatoes
• 1/2 medium - large head broccoli
• 1 onion
• 8oz (240gr) baked ham   a slice about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick
• 1/3 cup flour
• 1 cup (8oz, 240ml) milk
• 1 tbs Dijon mustard
• 3/4 cup (3oz, 90gr) shredded cheese

 Instructions:

• Cut broccoli into small florets, including stems.
• Cut the onion in quarters then slice thinly.
• Slice the potatoes 1/8 inch (.3cm) thick.
• Cut ham into 1 inch (2.5 cm) squares.
• Put the broccoli, potatoes, onions and ham into a large bowl.  Sprinkle with flour and toss to coat as evenly as possible.
• Put the whole lot into a large glass baking dish.
• Whisk the milk and mustard together and pour carefully over the vegetables.
• Sprinkle with the cheese.
• Cover and bake at 400F (200C) for an hour or until the potatoes are done.
• Uncover for the last 10 minutes to brown the cheese.  Serve.

Note:  You could bake it in a slower oven for longer: 350F (175C) for 90 minutes, if that suits your schedule.
