2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 beef tomatoes, sliced thickly
Good pinch of sugar
Seasoning
450g (1lb) cooked chopped spinach, drained well
Freshly grated nutmeg
Freshly ground Black pepper

25g (1oz) extra grated cheddar for sprinkling
30ml (2tbsp) dried breadcrumbs

75g (3oz) strong cheddar cheese,grated

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to Gas Mark 5, 190°C, 375°F.

In a large frying pan heat the butter and fry off the garlic for 30 seconds.

Add the tomatoes and toss very briefly in the garlic butter (no more than 30 seconds) scatter over the sugar and season the tomatoes well.

Tip the seasoned tomatoes into a large shallow ovenproof gratin dish and level off. Spoon the spinach over the tomatoes and season well with nutmeg and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and top the tomatoes with the strips of gammon.

In a small bowl mix together the extra grated cheese and breadcrumbs, set to one side.

Meanwhile add the cheeses to the hot white sauce and stir in the mustard, season to taste. Spoon the sauce over the gammon and sprinkle over the cheese and breadcrumb mix.

Bake in the oven for approx 20-25 minutes or until bubbling hot and golden brown.
