Ham'n'Bananas

Ham and Bananas with traditional Sauce Hollandaise (Thor's favorite!)

A traditional meal, with about half the time and effort! I always cook extra to have leftovers, but the more I cook, the more they eat... these fat little rascals!

Serve with red wine or hot chocolate ...and have a bucket ready!

Ingredients

• 6 medium bananas
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 6 thin slices boiled ham (about 1/2 lb)
• 3 tablespoons prepared mustard
• 2 envelopes (1 1/4-oz size) hollandaise sauce mix
• 1/4 cup light cream

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Lightly butter 2-quart, shallow baking dish.
2. Peel bananas; sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice, to prevent darkening.
3. Spread ham slices with mustard. Wrap each banana in slice of ham. Arrange in single layer in casserole. Bake 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, make sauce: In small saucepan, combine sauce mix with 1 cup water, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and cream.
5. Heat, stirring, to boiling; pour over bananas. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until slightly golden. Nice with a green salad for brunch or lunch.

Makes 6 servings.
