Ham and Noodle Bake (Šunkofleky)

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're making a comforting baked ham and noodle dish that comes together in about two hours. The tricky part here is whipping the egg whites into stiff peaks and folding them in gently — that's what gives this dish its signature light and fluffy texture. Everything else is straightforward: you'll simmer smoked meat until tender, cook pasta in that flavorful broth, then layer it all together with eggs and cream before baking until golden.

  1. 1/6

    Cook the meat

    Cook the smoked meat in salted water with black pepper, allspice and a bay leaf. The meat needs to be nice and tender. Careful — this time we won't use the broth as soup; set it aside instead.

  2. 2/6

    Cook the pasta

    Cook the pasta in the broth from the smoked meat — no need to salt the water again. Boil until tender, following the timing on the pack. Before draining, scoop out a mug of the cooking broth and set it aside.

    Add the eggs

    Once the pasta has cooled slightly, stir in the egg yolks (set the whites aside for later). Add a knob of butter for a rich, mellow flavor.

About this recipe

Šunkofleky is a dish I've loved ever since I was a kid — my mom made it, and so did my school canteen, which actually made it really well and still does. But nothing beats my mom's version. These days, I make the exact same dish for my own family.
