Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds cooked ham steak
- 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil.
In a medium-sized skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, and black pepper. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter to coat the mixture evenly. Set aside for the crust.
In another small bowl, whisk together the dijon mustard, honey, and paprika. Brush this glaze evenly over both sides of the ham steaks.
Arrange the glazed ham steaks in the prepared baking dish. Pour the heavy cream over the ham steaks to create a creamy base.
Spread the sautéed onions and garlic evenly over the ham steaks, then sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the top to form a crust.
Drizzle the crust lightly with olive oil to help it brown and crisp in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cream is bubbling around the edges.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
