    1. Wash and lightly dry the mushrooms. Cut them into sticks. Cut the ham into long strips. 2. Peel the onion and chop it very finely. Heat the butter in a heavy-bottomed sauté pan and cook the onion until golden. It shouldn't just soften — it should actually brown. Add the ham and cook a little longer, then add the mushrooms. Wait for the excess liquid to cook off and everything to turn golden. 3. Add the cheese to the pan and let it melt, then pour in the cream. Season with salt to taste. Cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Spoon into a bowl and garnish with fresh herbs.
