Ham and Swiss Pot Pie

By Kate Morgan Jackson

This recipe for ham and swiss pot pie trades the pastry for a cheesy potato crust. OH YES. Make sure you make enough for seconds of this comfort food.  Maybe thirds?

Ham and Swiss Pot Pie

If you read my post from a few days ago, you have caught on that I am currently obsessed with things that can be eaten out of bowls, including this scrumptious, warm and wonderful ham and swiss pot pie.

Chunks of ham, thinly sliced potatoes and shredded Swiss cheese bake up in a bath of cream and eggs and mustard, and the pot pie crust is not pastry but rather a crispy, cheesy topping of tender potatoes and golden melty cheese.  It’s a pot pie version of your favorite ham and cheese sandwich.  It’s comfort food extraordinaire.  Let’s make it!

Why the obsession with food in bowls lately?  Well, as I write this I am looking out the window at our second snowstorm in 4 days.  This one is a grumpy conglomeration of freezing rain and ice and mean little snow pellets, and it’s coming down on top of the 10 inches we got last week, and it has me not wanting to get out of my cozy bed unless it is to hunker down under my cozy blanket in front of the fire.  Exhibit A…

From this very morning.  I made a deal with myself that I would get up as soon as I finished the hot mug of tea the Southern husband brought me.  I am a deal-breaker.  It took another good half hour.  (Side note: that mug is from the world’s best diner, the Birdseye Diner in Castleton Vermont, if you are ever up in those parts.  Side note Part Two: Note that I am not the only one lounging in bed.)

Although once she gets up, she does like to go out and stand knee deep in the snow and survey her domain.  And then come back in.  Repeat 1,000 times over the course of the day.

Anyway, when you are snuggled under your covers, it’s much easier to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner out of a bowl, and that’s where this recipe comes in handy.  It comes together in a jiffy, especially if you have a mandoline to slice the potatoes (as always, BE CAREFUL with that thing), and it bakes up into warm, creamy, comfort food deliciousness.  So stay under that blankie!  Spring is coming…I promise!

    Oh no! Freezing rain and ice is NOT good! I like the fluffy white stuff, but ice and rain not so much! I think a cozy bowl of this ham and swiss pot pie would make me feel a lot better! Sounds delicious Kate! Stay warm.

    This looks amazing. And since I am really not good at making crusts, this is the perfect pot pie for me!

    Pot pie version of a ham and cheese sandwich? Yes please!! We’ve had so much snow this winter and over two feet this past week. Ugh! The idea of staying under the covers with comfy clothes and eating a big bowl of this sounds perfect to me. Even better with fur baby. Though, I’m sure he would want some of this, lol :D Your fur baby is adorable! What a little buddy you have there!
