Creamed Ham and Eggs

I am a big believer in not wasting any food. Over the years I used to spend hours looking through recipe books to find ways to use food that I had on hand. Ok - - I admit I hate to go to the grocery store. With the holidays just passing I had a lot of left over ham. Years ago I came across this recipe. It is quick and easy. I know it sounds a little strange but it really is good. Ask Tex ....we had it for dinner tonight. I thought Tricia would also enjoy this one too as it is a way to use eggs. I know that someone with as many chickens as she has ....she has a lot of eggs.

3 tablespoons flour
1/2 tsp. dry mustartd
1/4 tsp. salt (or use onion salt)
