Sunkofleky - a firm family favourite from my childhood

Šunkofleky

I haven't yet met a person who hasn't enjoyed this family friendly meal (exception are vegetarians of course!). It's simple to put together with only a few key ingredients. You can have sunkofleky put together in no time to serve for your next family meal.
Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 6 serves

Ingredients
 

  • 500 g packet of penne or spiral pasta
  • 8 Eggs
  • 300-400 g ham, solid piece or thick ham slices/steaks
  • 1-2 tablespoons butter
  • 6 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup cheese, grated (optional)
  • salt
  • black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180 degrees celsius.
  • Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packaging.
  • Chop the ham into very small cubes. Add olive oil to a frying pan and fry ham until lightly caramelised.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with milk. Add the ham, pasta (once cooked), and salt & pepper to season. While the pasta is still hot, add the butter and mix all ingredients together.
  • Pour the pasta into a greased baking dish or tray and if needed, use a spoon to evenly distribute the ham pieces throughout the pasta. Sprinkle the cheese on top and bake in the oven for 20-30 minutes until golden brown and egg cooked all the way through.

Notes

  • This bakes well with or without the added cheese on top (see photo below without cheese).
  • Serve this with a leafy green salad.
  • The traditional way to serve this meal is with a side of pickled cucumbers.
