Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
9 lasagna noodles, cooked al dente
2 cups diced ham
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour to form a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add salt, nutmeg, and black pepper. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese to make the Mornay sauce.
Layer 3 lasagna noodles in the baking dish. Spread a third of the Mornay sauce over the noodles, then half the ham, and a third of the mozzarella. Repeat layers, finishing with noodles, sauce, and remaining cheeses.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
