CHEESY SWISS HAM, POTATO, GREEN BEAN & MUSHROOM POT PIE

Steps:

• Cut up ham, trimming away any fat, and place into a medium-sizer bowl. Cover and refrigerate.

(Do not brown, adjust heat as needed.) Add garlic, sauté 1 minute longer. Remove from heat, let rest 1 minute, spoon into bowl with ham and fold to combine. Recover and refrigerate. Wipe out frying pan.

Slowly whisk in milk and cream, adding gradually so no lumps. Cook and stir until low boiling. Stir and cook 3-5 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat. Add 1 Tbl. gradually to 1 beaten egg yolk.
