Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly spray large casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Prepare pasta, ham & chicken before making sauce. Pasta should be al dente to avoid overcooking when further baking in the casserole.
- In a large stock pot, warm half & half and broth over low heat. Whisk in beaten egg, parsley, seasonings & mustard. Add cream cheese, whisking until melted. Add Swiss cheese, whisking until melted. Sauce will have lots of cheese pull.
