Broccoli, Ham and Dijon Au Gratin

I found this recipe on http://www.djfoodie.com - there are some really tasty low-carb recipes there, so check out his site. The original recipe called for 1/4 tsp each of guar gum and xanthan gum to thicken the sauce, which was sprinkled on the ham and cheese and mixed through before adding to the cream. I don't have access to these ingredients so my sauce might have been a bit thinner, but trust me it was still delicious. Give this a try, my husband really enjoyed it, too.

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup heavy whipping cream (pure cream in Australia)
840-850g (30 oz) frozen broccoli florets
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1-1/2 cups shredded cheese, divided
1/4 lb / 115g diced ham or bacon
salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 425F / 218C (bit lower for fan forced oven)

Place cream over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer, allowing to reduce by about half. Watch carefully, don't let it boil.

Whisk the Dijon mustard into the cream, then add 1 cup of cheese and all the ham / bacon. Stir or whisk until the cheese melts. Add broccoli, salt and pepper to taste and stir to coat. Pour into baking dish, top with the remaining cheese and bake 15-20 minutes.
