- 300g Macaroni
- 4-5 slices Black Forest Ham (100-125g)
- 1 egg
- 200ml 33% whipping cream
- salt, pepper, nutmeg
- grated cheese (Kraft four cheeses)
- bread crumbs
- unsalted butter
Break Macaroni in half, add to salted boiling water and cook al dente. Drain and let cool.
Cut ham in half or in quarter (or smaller pieces). Take a buttered casserole or a glass pyrex form (ovenproof) and layer first macaroni, ham, macaroni, ham, macaroni. Whisk 1 egg, add 200ml whipping cream, season heavily with salt and pepper and fresh grated nutmeg. Pour egg-cream-mixture over the pasta, sprinkle with grated cheese. Sprinkle on top with breadcrumbs and some unsalted butter flakes.
(you may like a more leaner version: combine in a small bowl breadcrumbs and oil, mix together like a paste, sprinkle on top of cheese).
Bake in the oven for about 35-45 minutes at 190C, until you have a nice crust.
Enjoy!
