Cathy’s Ham & Pea Casserole

What you’ll need:

•	2 cups milk (soy milk for casein free)
•	3 ½ TBSP butter, separated (soy butter for casein free)
•	5 TBSP flour (we like to use a mixture of brown rice and quinoa flour)
•	1 TBSP fresh tarragon (optional)
•	¼ lb. ham, cooked and cubed (We like organic best)
•	½ tsp salt and pepper
•	1 ¼ cup shelled peas
•	½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)

What to do:

1.	Warm milk over low-medium heat. Once slightly warm, remove from heat and set aside.
2.	In a large sauce pan melt 2 ½ TBSP butter while vigorously stirring with flour. When butter is melted and mixed with flour, begin gradually adding the warm milk. Stir constantly, until thickened. Add in tarragon, ham, salt, pepper, and peas. Cook for a few minutes.
3.	Use 1 TBSP butter to grease the bottom of baking dish.
4.	Pour ham in baking dish. Sprinkle with cheese (optional). Broil, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes. Remove from broiler and serve!
