CZECH FLICKY (FLEECH-KEY) 
1 pound package wide egg noodles
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1/2 teaspoon salt & pepper
1 cup cooked ham, bite size cubed
4 eggs
1 cup milk (can also use half & half or cream)

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Boil noodles in water per package directions. Drain noodles, then return to pot. Add butter, salt, pepper and cubed ham to noodles, stir to coat. Pour into a greased casserole dish.

Mix eggs and milk. Pour over noodles. Bake until noodles on top are golden and slightly crispy about 30 minutes.

Optional: though not in the traditional version, my husband likes this when I add 1/2 cup cubed Velveeta to it, if using add with ham, similar versions also add 1/2 cup sautéed onion).

I have wonderful memories of eating my grandmothers fleetchkee. Now I make it for my granddaughters and they love it too! They always want apple sauce with it. I sometimes make in a frying pan on the stove top instead of baking. Mmmm

My Mom made this for a small restaurant & at home. Found that using smoked butt was much better, less salty.
Also just using hot-buttered wide egg noodles and mixing with the cubed meat was less dry.
I liked adding Western or French dressing to moisten and spice it up. Kid friendly- You can also add ketchup, but do the adding at the table, bowl-by-bowl.

My mother made this dish but omitted the eggs and milk... just buttered noodles and leftover ham. Wonderful memories!

Same here... much fluffier - made it today. We use ground ham leftover from Easter or Christmas dinner.

Both of my Czech grandmothers would make this dish... My Tennessee born wife substitutes readily available smoked pulled pork for the ham and will sometimes add Bentons bacon. Then my son, adopted from Vietnam, eats his with Sriracha...
