Ham, Mushrooms & Chives
Make the recipe, then proceed with the instructions for Savory Clafoutis.
Ingredients
Filling:
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
-
1/2 pound white button mushrooms, wiped clean, stems trimmed, caps quartered (or cut smaller if large)
-
Kosher salt
-
6 ounces ham, sliced 1/8 inch thick and cut into 1-1/2x1/2-inch strips
-
Freshly ground black pepper
Cheese:
-
2 ounces Gruyere, grated (to yield 1/2 cup)
Herb:
-
2 tablespoons snipped chives
Directions
1.
Heat the oil and butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms, sprinkle with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned slightly, about 8 minutes. If the mushrooms release a lot of water, increase the heat to evaporate it. Toss in the ham and cook, stirring frequently, until it has browned a bit, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, season with a little salt and pepper, and set aside to cool. Have the cheese and snipped chives ready.
Variations:
Try mixing this filling (or other leftovers) with a cheese and chopped herb of your own choosing:
Crumbled browned sausage or bacon
Chopped roasted vegetables
Dried smoked chicken
Sauteed asparagus, broccoli, or cauliflower
Wilted spinach, squeezed to remove excess water
Chopped sun-dried tomatoes, pine nuts, and olives
Flaked poached salmon or diced boiled shrimp
