1/4 cup gratted cheddar cheese

Mix ham, cheese green onions and one egg together. Make little patties and wrap ham with mashed potato and roll in eggs. Fry in the pan. Very nice recipe for rest of ham. Kids love it too

Chocolat Volcano Cake

6 squares bittersweet chocolate
2 squares semisweet chocolate
1 1/4 stick butter (10 tablespoons)
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange liquor

Preheat oven at 425 F.
Grease 6 (6 ounce) custard cups. Melt the chocolates and butter in the microwave, or in a double boiler. Add the flour and sugar to chocolate. Stir in the eggs and yolks until smooth. Stir in the vanilla and orange liquor. Divide the batter eventy among the cups. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes. The edges should be firm but the center will be runny. Run a knife around the edges to loosen and invert on to dessert plates. Do not leave to cake longer otherwise it will be hard. Very delicious.
