This was extremely tasty, I think the ham that you use would make a difference to the recipe. I have a butcher that smokes his own ham and the flavour came through the recipe. I did change the cooking a little, I cooked it without chese on top in the microwave for 15 mins on MEd Low then put it in the oven with cheese on top to brown. It took 15 mins. This has gone into my favourites book.
