I grew up as a southern IL farm girl, but I was married to my Czech husband Bill for over 54 years. I am always ready to try new foods, but Bill liked his meat and potatoes. Recently, I read in a Czech group a recipe for Šunkofleky, a ham/noodle casserole. I had ham in the freezer and leftover macaroni and cheese. Thus this version of non-traditional Šunkofleky was born. I realized as I made it that it isn't so different from a cornbread egg casserole that I make.

Ingredients

1/2 large onion, diced
1/2 cup carrots, diced
1-2 teaspoon olive oil or butter
1 cup cooked pasta/noodles/macaroni and cheese
1/2 - 1 cups diced ham
2 eggs
1-3 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-2 slice cheese of choice

How To Make Šunkofleky (ham and noodle casserole)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil or butter in an 8" oven-proof skillet.

Step 2

Sauté diced onion and carrot in oven-proof skillet for about 5 minutes.
Step 3

Add diced ham and cooked pasta/noodles to the skillet. (I used leftover macaroni and cheese for this.)
Step 4

In a small bowl, beat eggs and milk. Add salt, pepper, and Italian spices to the beaten eggs.
Step 5

Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients in the skillet. Bake about 15 minutes.
Step 6

Add pieces of cheese over the top of the hot mixture. Let bake a few more minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the eggs are set. (I used pepper jack cheese.)
Step 7

Remove skillet from the oven and let set for 3-5 minutes so the casserole can be easily cut.
Step 8

Cut into 2-4 portions. Serve with a fresh salad, if desired.
Step 9

Note: Next time I will add diced peppers to the vegetables to be sautéd, or I will add some diced roasted peppers. You can be creative by adding vegetables of choice. (I have seen only onions in traditional Czech recipes.)

Note: Here is a recipe I have often made--and never realized it wasn't so different from Czech Šunkofleky: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/breakfast/breakfast-casserole/cornbread-egg-casserole.html?r=1
