Ingredients

• about 225 g Black Forest ham

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 190°C.
2. 2Prepare the about 450 g Asparagus: Using a medium pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Snap off the tough, woody ends from the asparagus spears, then cut the remaining spears into 2.54 cm pieces. Carefully add the 2.54 cm asparagus pieces to the boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes, then drain them thoroughly using a colander.
3. 3Prepare the sauce: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the 1 cup Coconut milk, 2 Egg yolks, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 tsp Nutmeg, 1/4 tsp Salt, and 1/4 tsp Pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. 4Assemble the bake: Arrange the about 225 g Black Forest ham and the blanched 2.54 cm asparagus pieces evenly in a 22.86 × 33.02 cm baking dish (or a similar size baking dish). Pour the entire coconut milk mixture from the bowl over the ham and asparagus, ensuring everything is coated.
5. 5Bake: Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes at 190°C, or until the sauce is visibly set and the top surface is lightly golden brown.
6. 6Serve: Carefully remove the baking dish from the oven and serve immediately while hot.
