    Ham Florentine Casserole

    2 pounds Yukon gold or red potatoes
    cooking spray
    2 cups sliced mushrooms
    1/2 cup chopped onion
    1 garlic clove, minced
    1/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
    1, 10 ounce package frozen chopped spinach,
    ...thawed, drained, and squeezed dry
    1 teaspoon salt, divided
    1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
    1 cup chopped reduced-fat ham
    2 1/2 cups 1% low-fat milk
    2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
    4 large eggs, lightly beaten
    1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded Fontina cheese
    2 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

    Place potatoes in a stockpot; cover with water (to 2 inches above
    potatoes); bring to a boil. Cook 40 minutes or until tender. Drain.
    Cool; peel and cut into 1/4 inch thick slices.

    Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium
    /high heat. Add mushrooms; saute 5 minutes. Add onion and garlic,
    saute 3 minutes. Add broth; cook until evaporated. Stir in spinach,
    1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Place half the potatoes in a single layer
    on the bottom of an 11 x 7 inch (or a little larger) baking dish. Spoon
    mushroom mixture over potatoes; sprinkle with ham. Layer remaining
    potatoes over top.

    Combine 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, milk, flour,
    and eggs. Pour over potatoes (dish will be full). Bake for 30 minutes.
    Sprinkle with cheeses; bake an additional 20 minutes.
    Makes 8 servings.

    Note:
    I'd rather peel the potatoes first...then you won't have to scrub all
    the dirt off and Then have to peel later anyway.
