CREAMED HAM AND EGGS OVER CORNBREAD
This is a wonderful way to use your Easter leftovers! Your hard-cooked eggs and ham go into a luscious white sauce which is spooned over a piece of your favorite cornbread, be it homemade or prepared from a mix. This is a good brunch dish or company breakfast dish but would be equally good at lunch or suppertime. Talk about versatility! The timing of this dish is considerably less than indicated since there is a time overlap: you are making the creamed eggs and ham while the cornbread is baking.

Steps:
- Prepare the pan of cornbread. While it is baking prepare the creamed eggs.
- Melt butter in a saucepan. Add flour, mixing well and cooking a couple of minutes to cook off the raw flour taste. Be sure to see note #3.
- Add the milk, whisking or stirring constantly, until sauce begins to thicken.
- Add the seasonings, ham and eggs. Keep warm in the top of a double boiler till serving time. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
- Guests serve themselves a square or wedge of cornbread, then spoon the creamed hand and eggs over.
- NOTE #1: The creamed eggs and ham are good served over toast points, also. Or, for glamour, in baked frozen patty shells.
- NOTE #2: Other meats substitute very well for the ham in this recipe: chipped beef, chicken, shrimp, sauteed kidney, etc. Even cooked vegetables can be substituted for a vegetarian meal: peas, beans, asparagus, cauliflower, broccolini ~ or try mixed veggies. A very accommodating basic recipe, you see!
- NOTE #3: You can flavor the white sauce to please your own taste buds. I like to cook a little finely chopped onion and celery in the butter before proceeding for example. A little dry mustard is a tasty addition, too.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your creamed ham on cornbread. Look for a good quality deli ham and use fresh cornbread.
- Don't overcook the ham: The ham should be cooked until it is just heated through, but not overcooked. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the ham and cornbread without being too runny. If the sauce is too thin, add a little bit of cornstarch or flour to thicken it.
- Serve immediately: Creamed ham on cornbread is best served immediately after it is made. The cornbread will start to get soggy if it sits for too long.
