Baked Ham & Swiss With Mushroom Sauce

Mustang Sally 54269's Note:

Recipe was adapted from 'Cooking for the Rushed' cookbook. I cut back the green onions & black pepper; we found them alittle overpowering. You could substitute the cheese, however, I feel the Swiss compliments the flavours the best. If you don't like ham, try shrimp or smoked turkey breast instead.
