Ham cream

In this recipe it is important to take care of the quantities of the ingredients. It is likely that in the last part of cooking you will need to add more milk or broth depending on the consistency you want to give to the cream. Let's do it!

We place the butter in a deep pot and let it melt over medium heat. When the butter is completely melted, add the flour and begin to stir the mixture using a wooden spoon. This step is important to prevent lumps from forming. We must achieve a homogeneous mixture.
In a separate container we add the cornstarch to the milk. We dissolve these ingredients well and begin to add the milk little by little to the flour and butter mixture that we have browning in the pot.

Let it begin to boil, stirring continuously to avoid the formation of lumps. Add the grated cheese and stir until it is completely dissolved. Now season using salt to taste, along with pepper and nutmeg.
We continue stirring and if we notice that any lumps form during cooking we can pass the cream through a fine strainer.

We lower the cream from the heat and add the ham cut very small.

In this preparation you can incorporate tomato sauce, which we could say would turn it into an Aurora cream with Ham.

It is served very hot, preferably using bowls.
