Gammon Ham Steak With Egg And Cheese Sauce Recipes

GAMMON (HAM STEAK) WITH EGG AND CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a heavy-based saucepan.
• Stir in the flour and cook gently, stirring, for 1-2 minutes.
• Gradually add in the warmed milk, stirring well as you do so. Cook, stirring, until the mixture has thickened into a white sauce.
• Add the nutmeg and Cheddar cheese, stirring well. Cook gently until the cheese has melted.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Broil the ham steaks until cooked on one side. Turn over the steaks.
• Top the uncooked side of the ham steaks with the hard-boiled egg quarters. Spoon over the cheese sauce, sprinkle with the cayenne and Parmesan and cook briefly under the broiler until glazed. Serve at once.
• Excess sauce can be stored away in a air-tight container for up to two days.

STUFFED HAM STEAK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Remove the fat from around the ham steaks; using whole cloves stud the ham and keep aside.
• Add celery and onion to butter and sauté for about 10 minutes. Toss slightly after adding bread cubes, cinnamon, egg, parsley and salt.
• Take a big double-thick square aluminum foil, put one of the ham steaks in the middle and cover using stuffing mixture. Arrange the other ham steak on the top. Use toothpicks, if required, to secure the second ham.
• Pull up the aluminum foil, cover the ham and seal. Fold the ends so that ham is completely secured inside.
• Put on on the oven rack and bake for25 minutes.
• Unwrap the foil and bake for 10 more minutes.
• Arrange on the platter and serve hot.
