Šunkofleky (Ham and Noodle Casserole) image

I grew up as a southern IL farm girl, but I was married to my Czech husband Bill for over 54 years. I am always ready to try new foods, but Bill liked his meat and potatoes. Recently, I read in a Czech group a recipe for Šunkofleky, a ham/noodle casserole. I had ham in the freezer and leftover macaroni and cheese. Thus...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 large onion, diced
1/2 c carrots, diced
1-2 tsp olive oil or butter
1 c cooked pasta/noodles/macaroni and cheese
1/2 - 1 c diced ham
2 eggs
1-3 Tbsp milk
1 tsp italian seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1-2 slice cheese of choice

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil or butter in an 8" oven-proof skillet.
  • 2. Sauté diced onion and carrot in oven-proof skillet for about 5 minutes.
  • 3. Add diced ham and cooked pasta/noodles to the skillet. (I used leftover macaroni and cheese for this.)
  • 4. In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk. Add salt, pepper, and Italian spices to the beaten eggs.
  • 5. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the skillet. Bake about 15 minutes.
  • 6. Add pieces of cheese over the top of the hot mixture. Let bake a few more minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the eggs are set. (I used pepper jack cheese.)
  • 7. Remove skillet from the oven and let set for 3-5 minutes so the casserole can be easily cut.
  • 8. Cut into 2-4 portions. Serve with a fresh salad, if desired.
  • 9. Note: Next time I will add diced peppers to the vegetables to be sautéd, or I will add some diced roasted peppers. You can be creative by adding vegetables of choice. (I have seen only onions in traditional Czech recipes.)
  • 10. Note: Here is a recipe I have often made--and never realized it wasn't so different from Czech Šunkofleky: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/breakfast/breakfast-casserole/cornbread-egg-casserole.html?r=1
