Ham And Eggs Bravo

Well, it was a cold Sunday morning and I needed to get rid of some leftover baked ham. Whipped up this bad boy and it was GREAT! Just follow the instructions for mixing so you don't get lumpy (yuk) sauce. I found that my MEGA Panasonic nuke STILL took a lot longer than they said to heat the stuff up. Just remember to heat a bit; stir a bit, heat - stir, etc, and add the sliced eggs toward the end. Be VERY gentle with the sliced eggs and they won't completely fall apart. The taste is a delicate cheesey white sauce with a hint of the green onion that complements the other flavors. I liked it. It kept well in the fridge too.
