Golden ham and egg pasta bake: Czech šunkofleky served with pickles

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

1. Cook the pasta

   15 min

   Cook the pasta squares in salted water for 8–10 minutes, 1 minute less than the package directs, so they stay slightly firm. Drain and let any excess water drip off.

2. Sauté the onion and ham

   10 min

   Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Finely chop the onion and sauté it in 30 g of the butter until translucent. Add the finely diced ham, cook for 2 minutes, and toss with the pasta.

3. Prepare the egg mixture

   5 min

   Whisk the eggs with the milk and sour cream. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

4. Bake

   30 min

   Grease a baking dish with butter, spread the pasta and ham in it, and pour the egg mixture evenly over the top. Dot with small pieces of the remaining butter and bake at 190 °C (375 °F) for 25–30 minutes, until the eggs are set and the pasta is golden on top.

5. Serve

   5 min

   Let stand for 5 minutes, cut into portions, and serve with pickles.

Tip: You can also make šunkofleky with leftover smoked meat. If you can't find pasta squares, use wide noodles broken into pieces 2–3 cm long.
