Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C and spray an ovenproof dish/muffin tray with non-stick spray.
    Warm a pan to medium heat and place the ham steaks next to each other in the pan. Allow them to brown lightly for about 2 minutes on either side.
    Whilst they brown, mix together the mustard and syrup/honey. Pour half over one side of the ham, then turn onto the other side and pour the other half over.
    Allow the glaze to warm up and stick to the ham before flipping again. Cook each side for 3-4 minutes.

  • In the meantime, peel and chop the onion as well as the garlic. Peel the potatoes, rinse them and cut them into cubes of about 1cm.
    Quiche Chopped Onion
  • Remove the steaks from the pan and allow to cool before cutting into 1-centimeter cubes.
    Glazed Ham Cubes
  • Coat the same pan with olive oil, add the onion and cook over medium heat until translucent. Toss in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
    Quiche Onion In Skillet
  • Add the potato cubes and turn down the heat a notch or two so they can fry thoroughly without burning.
    Sprinkle in the salt and rosemary* and stir every minute or two, ensuring the potatoes remain loose and cook evenly on all sides.
    If using fresh rosemary, remove the little leaves from the stalk and toss them in the pan to move around easily with the rest of the contents.
    Test the potatoes after 15 minutes of cooking. If they’re soft, remove from the heat. Set aside to cool down.
