I am still making dinner for breakfast, well except for last week when we were off of work and school due to blizzard conditions and record snowfall. The mornings I do cook, I am finding that I have to be very organized and fast. Vegetables need to be roasted at very high temperatures and cut into smaller peices in order to get done in less than 30 minutes and most of my cooking techniques need tweaking to get food on the table in very little time without sacrificing taste or texture. This recipe gets it all done in a flash. Meat and fruit in one pan while the cauliflower roasted, this dinner was on the table in less than 30 minutes.
Ham Steak Apple Skillet
2 ham steaks
3 T. butter
1 T. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups diced apples
In a large skillet melt butter, add sugar and mustard and bring to a simmer. Add apples and cover. Let simmer for 5 minutes then top with ham steaks. cover with lid and let simmer 10 minutes more or until apples are soft but not mushy. Remove ham to a platter and top with apples and sauce. You may also use maple syrup in place of the sugar. Spices such as cinnamon or allspice may be added as well. Be creative by adding nuts or other fruits like pineapple. Serves 4-6.

that sounds soooo good. I am putting the ingredients on my shopping list now.
Hi, Robin Sue! I've had ham steaks before and didn't care much for the taste. Is there a brand you recommend?

Ingrid- Smithfield always has good hams, try them if you have their brand where you live.
excellent. this is appropriate for any meal, and it's down-home cooking at its best. pig in any form + apples = awesome.
Not much of a morning person, but I am inspired to start making better breakfasts besides bagels or cereal.
I would gladly get out of bed if someone made this for me!
Apples and ham/pork go so good together. I bet you''re a busy bee in the mornings!
I'm amazed you are still oing it. This sounds perfect, I eat it as breakfast too!
I was just sharing your dinner for breakfast brainstorm with my sister. I still think it's smart, but I can't get myself organized to do it!
I'm passing a blog award onto you, Robin. Stop by to find out about it. : )

Oh, this is an awesome quick dish, Robin! Hard to go wrong with ham and potatoes, and then some apples added to sweeten the deal–great idea!
