Ham Noodles Casserole (Schinkennudeln)
Ingredients:
- 454 g (1 lb) of cut ziti
- 2 ½ liter of water
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 454 g (1 lb) of sliced cooked ham
- 2–3 eggs
- 1 cup of sour cream
- ½ cup of milk
- 226 g (8 oz) of shredded mozzarella
Preparation:
Bring the water with the salt to a boil and cook the cut ziti for about 10 minutes. Strain the noodles and pour some cold water over them, so that they don’t stick together. In the meantime, cut the ham first in strips—about ½ inch and than in squares. Beat the eggs, add the sour cream, milk, and a pinch of salt to it. Mix until smooth. Add 4 tablespoons of the shredded mozzarella.
Butter your ramekin (cooking and serving dish). Place the half of the noodles in your dish, than add one layer of the ham. Then, cover with the other half of the noodles. Pour your sour cream mix over the noodles. Spread the rest of the mozzarella evenly over the noodle ham mix. Cut your butter in small pieces and place them on top of the cheese.
Have your ham/noodles on the middle rack of your oven and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (360°F) for about 30 minutes, or till the cheese is crusty. Make sure that the sour cream egg mixture is curdled. DONE!
