What each ingredient does
- Thinly sliced ham
- Provides the main savory flavour and is cooked by direct heat until done to taste.
The step that matters
Drying the ham after soaking. Surface moisture left on the ham steams instead of browning under the broiler, so drying it thoroughly helps it take on colour and a better texture.
