HAM AND SPINACH ROLLS. Serves 8 to 10.
* 20 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed
* 2 cups sour cream
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 1-1/2 cups packaged cornbread stuffing mix
* 20 thin slices ham (about 1-1/4 #)
* Cheese sauce (recipe follows)
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1. Drain spinach in a colander, pressing out moisture. In a large bowl stir together spinach, sour cream and nutmeg. Blend in stuffing mix.
2. Place about 1/4 cup of the spinach mixture on each ham slice, rolling them up and placing side-by-side in a buttered shallow 3-quart baking dish (about 9"x13")
3. Pour cheese sauce evenly over the ham rolls. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate.
4. Bake, covered, in a 350ºF oven for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake until sauce is bubbly and lightly browned (15 to 20 minutes; add 5 to 10 minutes to baking time if made ahead).
CHEESE SAUCE.
Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over moderate heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and light 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper; cook until bubbly. Remove from heat and gradually blend in 1-1/2 cups milk. Return to heat and cook, stirring, until thickened and bubbling. Stir in 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese until melted, then mix in 1 tablespoon dry sherry. Makes about 2 cups.
