Here comes a traditional recipe for baked Austrian Schinkenfleckerl, a casserole dish with square shaped pasta, ham, sour cream, eggs and breadcrumbs.
The eggwhites in this recipe are beaten to add extra volume and softness to the dish. All of the ingredients are then stirred together and baked in the oven with breadcrumbs on top.

Here is a short video where you can see how it's done step by step:
Ingredients
- 250 g / 2.5 cups short pasta - like the square shaped Austrian "Fleckerl"
- 200 g / 1 cup ham - cut into 1 inch squares
- 80 g / ~ 5.5 tablespoons / 0.75 sticks of butter, unsalted
- 4 eggs
- salt
- pepper
- nutmeg
- 250 g / 1 cup sour cream
- 1-4 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 handfull Parsley chopped
- ½ cup bread crumbs - to spread on top
- 1 tbsp. butter to grease pan
- ¼ cup bread crumbs to sprinkle on greased pan
How to make breadcrumbs from scratch
Equipment
- pot for cooking pasta
- baking pan ca. 12 inch
- mixer for eggwhite
- 2 big bowls
Instructions
Cook pasta for 6 minutes. Strain and rinse with cold water.
Separate the egg white and yolk. Beat the egg whites until stiff.
Mix butter, egg yolk, salt, pepper and nutmeg until it's creamy.
Stir in ham, sour cream, garlic, parsley and pasta. The pasta should not be hot anymore.
Gently "fold in" the stiff eggs to the pasta and ham.
Grease a baking pan with butter and sprinkle with bread crumbs.
Pour the Schinkenfleckerl mixture into the pan and sprinkle with more breadcrumbs.
Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes on medium heat (~ 160°C / 320°F with circulating air). For the first 20-30 minutes cover the pan (with a lid or aluminum foil) that the crumbs do not burn. Uncover for the last 20 minutes, so the crumbs become crispy. Enjoy!

This made me laugh! I'm not such a fan of ham pasta, but you make it sound like a good reason to misbehave 😉

My German Grandmother made this regularly when I was growing up and added a half cup of grated cheddar or other melting cheese to the noodle/ham mixture and half a cup of Parmesan to the bread crumbs. My dad still makes this dish for my grandchildren, so another generation is loving our family recipes.
