- 1 cup grated cheese (we recommend a mixture of cheddar and mozzarella)
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste

πͺ Instructions

Next, in a large saucepan, heat the heavy cream, thyme, salt, and pepper over medium heat until it starts to boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Now it’s time to assemble the dish. In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the potatoes, followed by half of the diced ham, and half of the grated cheese. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients. Pour the simmering cream mixture over the top, making sure to cover all the ingredients.
