CHICKEN CORDON BLEU

When we camp in our vintage 1974 Avion trailer we need to make the most of our space and time--plus watch the heat in the summer. So when I'm cooking I get to let me creative skills flow. That's how I came up with this little wonder. It turned out great. Chris had seconds.

4 chicken skinless breasts
2 tsps yellow mustard
4 tsps mayo
4 slices fully cooked deli ham-no sugar added
1 cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
1/4 cup mayo
4 slices swiss cheese

Flatten chicken breasts out to an even thickness. Mix mayo and mustard together. Spread each breast with mixture. Salt and pepper nicely. Add a slice of cheese and ham to each chicken breast and then roll them up and put a toothpick in each one. Roll each breast in mayo(1/4cup) and then roll in parmesan cheese. Put in a greased 2qt microwave safe baking dish. Place in microwave on high for 7 min. Then roll them over and cook for another 5-7 mins. You can always make a little more sauce of mustard and mayo mix and put on top and then it will warm on the chicken. It is very good.
Enjoy!

HAM AND EGGS CASSEROLE

Well, it's been awhile and I apoligize for that. You know how busy summer gets. We've been doing a lot of running/vacationing and camping. Well I came up with this casserole dish with leftover ham and some boiled eggs I had to use up. This would be great for around Easter time. We will all have to keep this is our recipe box.

6 cups chopped hard boiled eggs
1 pkg (160z) frozen green beans
1 medium jar pimentos-drained
3 cups leftover cooked diced ham
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons soy flour
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp worcestershire
1 tablespoons hot chili sauce
dash of tabasco
80z shreddes cheddar cheese

Start heating oven to 425 degrees. Cook beans as package directs-drain. Melt butter in sauce pan; blend in flour, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir in heavy cream; cook, stirring, until thickened. Add worcestershire, chili sauce, tabasco and pimentos. In a 2 qt greased casserole, layers beans, eggs, ham, sauce and then cheese. I made 3 layers total. Bake in oven for about 25 minutes.
Enjoy!
