Fiddlehead and Ham Casserole
This is an absolutely delicious meal that doesn't need any special
occasion. It's made from fine quality, simple ingredients
and there's nothing like it to hit the spot on a cold
spring evening. Serve it with crusty bread, a green salad,
and fresh fruit.
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon Sea salt
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 teaspoon chopped chives
1 1/2 cups cooked ham, trimmed and diced
3 cups fresh Fiddleheads, steamed until cooked but
still crisp
Buttered bread crumbs
Preparation:
Make a smooth white sauce of the butter, flour, milk and
salt.
Add the parsley and chives to the sauce.
In a casserole, alternate layers of ham, cooked
fiddleheads, and the white sauce until the dish is filled.
Complete it with a layer of the white sauce on top.
Cover the top of the dish with buttered crumbs and bake at
350 degrees F until the sauce is bubbling and the crumbs
are browned. This should take about 30 minutes.
