Ingredients:

100 g cubed smoked ham

1 large onion

2 tablespoons flour

ca. 1 teaspoon lemon juice or mild vinegar

pinch of salt

pinch of sugar

horseradish

eggs (as many as you want to eat)

mashed potatoes

Directions:

Make a roux with the flour and a bit of milk and water. In a separate pan, fry the ham and onions, reserving some for the sauce, and the rest for the mashed potatoes.

Add salt, lemon juice or vinegar, sugar and a tiny amount of horseradish to the sauce.

Beat each egg separately in a cup and add them in quick succession to the bubbling sauce.

Carefully watch the texture of the eggs – they need to remain runny on the inside. Add some ham and onions to the sauce.

Serve with mashed potatoes topped with the leftover ham and onions.

Bon apetit!
