Creamed Ham and Eggs Recipe

Creamed ham and eggs sounded like a very interesting dish when I first heard about it. I wasn’t quite sure what to think when my friends wanted me to make it. They call it “creamed nothing” which I thought was funny, but turns out it’s delicious! So “creamed nothing” or creamed ham and eggs, you should try it.

I love a good roux! It is the start to so many good things: cheese sauce, cream sauce, white gravy. A roux is just flour and butter cooked together. Then you add milk and you have your white sauce for whatever you wish to make! In this case, it’s creamed ham and eggs.

How do I make Creamed Ham and Eggs?

1. Simply melt the butter in a heavy based pan.
   
2. Add flour, salt, pepper and dry mustard.
   
3. Cook, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth.
   
4. Stir in milk, stirring constantly until mixture boils.
   
5. Turn down heat and gently stir in eggs and ham.
   
6. Serve warm over biscuits or toast.

What do I serve with Creamed Ham and Eggs?

If you’re looking for something else to go with it, asparagus would taste good. But simply serving Creamed Ham and Eggs over toast, biscuits or English muffins is good enough!

I don’t have ham! What else can I use to make Creamed Ham and Eggs?

You can make this with just eggs or add bacon instead. But I recommend using ham if you can! Another idea would be to use a can of tuna or salmon for a seafood option.
