    Ham Hash with Mustard Cream Sauce. I’d be willing to bet that after next weekend, we’ll all have some leftover ham and hard-boiled eggs. Ham Hash with Mustard Cream Sauce is a great recipe for leftover ham.  It only takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and makes for a fantastic Sunday breakfast.

    If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times, if a recipe comes from a bed and breakfast, it’s pretty much guaranteed to be killer. Who can argue with chopped potatoes, chopped ham, eggs and mustard cream sauce.

    Yukon Potatoes

    If you’re a regular reader, you know that I purchased a large bag of red-skinned, yellow-flesh, Idaho Yukon Gold Potatoes a couple of weeks ago at Costco. These things are so good that I’m treating them like gold by keeping them in the basement in the “wine cellar” with fingers crossed that they won’t lose any of their unique sweet flavor.

    They worked great in this hash. Their creamy texture and sweet taste really complimented the salty ham and sweet onion. I adore these potatoes and this recipe with the elegant mustard cream sauce is just flat-out delicious!

    Ham hash made with left over ham.

    Let’s take a look at how easy this is:

    In large skillet, heat butter and oil until butter is melted. Add potatoes, ham and onion. Cook over medium heat, stirring and turning mixture over until crispy brown.

    While hash is cooking, make the mustard cream sauce. In small saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in flour to make a roux. Add milk and stir over low heat until sauce begins to thicken. Stir in mustard. Continue cooking until sauce is thick. Add sliced eggs to sauce, but do not stir.

    Gravy for ham hash topped with sliced hard boiled eggs.

    When hash is finished cooking, place in serving bowl. Pour eggs with sauce over the middle of the hash. Serve at once. Nice with toast or biscuits.

    This recipe worked great using chopped ham from my Thyme Honey Glazed Ham Recipe. To me, Ham is the ultimate holiday comfort foods.  It can be served for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or dinner and is wonderful when it hits the menu as leftovers.

    If you’re looking for leftover ham recipes, I hope you give this one a try. It was a hit on our table. The dijon mustard cream sauce alone is worth its weight in gold.
