Eyeball cooking: What to do with that leftover Easter Ham... make czech-flitsky!

I am fortunate enough to be married to a wonderful man who is all American with a half Czech, half German ancestry. His mother is a spritely woman who imparted her great love for authentic Czechoslovakian cuisine. Given the fact that it is so super easy and only requires a few ingredients doesn’t hurt any!

One of our favorite dishes is a wonderful concoction of noodles, ham and butter and baked until crispy. It is called Flitsky, but the family calls it “Chunky-Flecky.” It is a great recipe for left over Easter Ham, or any time of the year and is fabulous warmed up the next day for breakfast!
Eyeball cooking involves no measuring, simply eyeball the ingredients going into the pot!

Kevin’s Czech Flitsky

• Cut up ham into cubes or small pieces – you want about 3 or 4 cups of ham when all is said and done
• Prepare 2- 12 oz bags of egg noodles according to directions and drain well
• Toss noodles, ham and a good portion of butter into a bowl and mix up. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread noodle/ham mixture into a greased 9 x 13 pan and top with breadcrumbs
• Drop a couple of pats of butter along the top of the breadcrumbs and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes until it is nice and crispy.

Serve it up to hungry Bohemians.
