Cheese And Ham Mushrooms Recipes

HAM, CHEESE & MUSHROOM TURNOVERS

Steps:

• The first thing to do is to make a thick white sauce that will be the base of the turnover filling. Bring the milk to a simmer, then add the butter and flour paste. Whisk the paste into the simmering milk and allow it to boil for 3-4 mins, whisking gently all the time to prevent it from catching. You should now have a very thick white sauce. Cool the sauce in a bowl. Fry the mushrooms in the oil for 3-5 mins until golden, then leave to cool.
• Place the ham, cheese and mushrooms into a bowl, then gradually add the white sauce until everything is well coated. Finally, add the herbs.
• Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about the thickness of a £1 coin and cut out 4 saucer-size rounds (about 18cm wide), re-rolling the trimmings if you need to. Brush the edges of each round with beaten egg. Spoon the mixture onto 1 side of each round, then fold over and seal the edges well. The turnovers can now be frozen for up to 1 month. Brush the turnover with the remaining egg, then chill for 30 mins.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the turnovers on a baking sheet and bake for about 35 mins until puffed up and golden. Leave to cool slightly and enjoy warm.

CREAMY MUSHROOM HAM & POTATOES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the soup, milk and parsley. In a greased 3-qt. slow cooker, layer half of the potatoes, onion, ham, cheese and soup mixture. Repeat layers. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until potatoes are tender.

HAM, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE OMELETTE

Steps:

• Beat eggs, add mushrooms and ham.
• Heat frying pan, and coat with cooking spray or oil.
• Add egg mixture to hot pan and cook until almost set. Flip over and when egg is set, top with cheese. Cook until cheese is melted.
• Serve with hashbrowns, toast, or rice.
• Sometimes I even add chopped green onion, or any color pepper we have on hand.

CHEESY HAM AND MUSHROOM STRATA

Steps:

• Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Whisk the half-and-half, Parmesan and eggs, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper together in a large bowl.
• Layer half of the bread cubes in the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the Swiss cheese, followed by the cooked mushrooms and the ham. Cover with the remaining bread cubes and pour the half-and-half mixture evenly over top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. (This can also be assembled the day of; just let soak at room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hour before baking.)
• On the day of baking, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Let the strata sit at room temperature while the oven preheats. Remove the plastic and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup Swiss cheese. Bake until slightly puffed and just no longer jiggly in the center, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

CREAMY HAM & MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to pack instructions, then drain. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6, then melt a little butter in a large saucepan. Fry the mushrooms for a couple of mins, then scoop out and set aside. Use some kitchen paper to wipe out the pan.
• Melt the remaining butter in the pan, then add most of the onions and soften for 1 min. Stir in the flour for another min, then gradually stir in the milk until you have a lump-free sauce. Increase the heat and bubble the sauce, stirring for a few mins to thicken. Turn off the heat, stir in the ham and most of the cheese, then season to taste.
• Tip the pasta and mushrooms into a large ovenproof dish, then pour over the sauce and mix well in the dish. Scatter over the remaining cheese and spring onions, then bake for 10 mins until golden.

HAM, MUSHROOM AND CHEESE CREPES

Steps:

• 1. TO MAKE THE CREPES: Sift the flour, salt and sugar into a bowl and make a well in the center. Mix the eggs and milk together with the water and pour slowly into the well, whisking all the time to incorporate the flour until you have a smooth batter. Stir in the melted butter. Cover & refrigerate for 20 minutes.
• 2. Heat a crepe pan or a non-stick frying pan and grease with a little butter or oil. Pour in enough batter to coat the base of the pan with a thin even layer and tip out any excess. Cook over moderate heat for about a minute, or until the crepe starts to come away from the side of the pan. Turn the crepe and cook on the other side for 1 minute, or until lightly golden. Stack the crepes on a plate with pieces of wax paper between them and cover with foil or plastic wrap while you cook the rest of the batter to make 6 large crepes.
• 3. TO MAKE THE FILLING: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the 1 oz butter in a frying pan, add the mushrooms, season well and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until all the liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated. Stir in the cream, cheese, and ham.
• 4. TO ASSEMBLE: Lay one crepe on a board or work surface. Top with about a sixth of the filling and fold the crepe into quarters. Place it on a baking sheet, and then fill and fold the remaining crepes. Bake for 5 minutes and then serve immediately.

MUSHROOM CRUSTED HAM AND CHEESE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C.)
• In a medium pan, saute mushrooms and onion in 3 1/2 tablespoons of the butter until just tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the bread crumbs, Parmesan, salt and pepper.
• Butter the bottom and sides of a 10 inch deep dish pie pan with remaining butter. Press mushroom mixture into pan evenly on bottom and sides. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the mushrooms.
• In a blender, beat together cream cheese, eggs and hot pepper sauce until well incorporated. Stir in diced ham. Pour over the shredded cheese and bake 30 minutes or until set in center. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

HAM STEAKS WITH GRUYERE, BACON & MUSHROOMS

Remove from pan; keep warm. Wipe skillet clean., In same skillet, cook ham over medium heat 3 minutes. Turn; sprinkle with cheese and bacon. Cook, covered, 2-4 minutes longer or until cheese is melted and ham is heated through. Serve with mushroom mixture. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

HAM AND CHEESE STUFFED MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Finely chop two of the field mushrooms and mix together in a bowl with the smoked ham, mozzarella and crushed garlic, then season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Fill the remaining eight mushrooms with the mixture.
• Put the mushrooms in a large oven dish, drizzle with the olive oil and cook for 7 mins on high. Serve on top of the salad leaves, and make sure you have plenty of crusty bread to mop up the juices.

HOT OPEN-FACED HAM, SWISS CHEESE, AND MUSHROOM SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, the mustard, the dill, and salt and pepper to taste. In a skillet cook the mushrooms in the oil over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until the liquid the mushrooms give off is evaporated, and remove the skillet from the heat. On a baking sheet spread one side of each slice of toast with half the mayonnaise mixture, top each toast with a slice of the ham, half the mushrooms, a slice of the Swiss cheese, half the onion, and salt and pepper to taste, and broil the sandwiches under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and browned lightly.
