Notes
Tips: Fry the ham quickly over high heat for crisp, caramelised edges. Pieces with a little charred colour add extra flavour to the whole dish.
Storage: Keeps in the fridge for 2 days. Reheat with a little extra cream or stock.
Variations: Stir in a couple of spoonfuls of cream cheese for a quicker, creamier version.
