Ham & Cheese Ring

Submitted by twissis

"THE BEST OF COOKING by Arne Kruger & Annette Wolter has provided a wealth of new & tantalizing recipes for my personal cookbook that I have just found the time to share w/all of you. This is 1 I have not tried, but appears to be another ideal & easy way to use leftover ham you may have on hand or lurking in your freezer. Although described as an *ideal lunch dish* when served w/a selection of salad items, I see it also working well as part of breakfast or brunch fare. *Enjoy* (Time does not include time for ham mixture to sit as directed in Step 2 of prep)"

2. Mix chopped ham, onion & parsley w/brandy & allow to sit for 20 minutes.
3. Whisk eggs w/salt, paprika, mustard & cottage cheese or cream cheese (I would use my immersion blender for this step).

This was good, but to be fair I am going to remake this next week and re-review this, because we did not want onions in it, so I omitted the onions, I think it would tasted alot better with the onions. I am going to remake this and take it to work with the onions in it, and I"ll post a new review then. It was very tasty, and I thought the paprika and dry mustard, along with the brandy complimented this very well. Thanks for the recipe. Made for Zaar tag.
