Keto Black Forest Ham and Asparagus Bake

Ingredients

• 8 oz Black Forest ham
• 1 lb Asparagus
• 1 cup Coconut milk
• 2 Egg yolks
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. 2Prepare the 1 lb 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 1-inch pieces. Carefully add the 1-inch 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 8 oz Black Forest ham and the blanched 1-inch asparagus pieces evenly in a 9x13 inch 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 375°F (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.
