Cooking time: 10 minutes prep, 60 baking Cooking schedule: see below for instructions
Scalloped potatoes, a bit of onion, some ham and broccoli, and you have a complete dinner from the oven with very little work. Bake it earlier or the day before and reheat it if you like.... Oh, and if you leave it in for an extra 30 minutes because you got busy and forgot? As long as it's covered, no problem...
Potato, Ham and Broccoli Gratin Preparation and cooking time: 70 minutes2 medium potatoes
1/2 medium - large head broccoli
1 onion
8oz (250gr) 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
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.
