Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the wide egg noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, heavy cream, and eggs until smooth. Season with salt, black pepper, and freshly grated nutmeg.
In the skillet, gently combine the cooked noodles with the ham-onion mixture. Transfer this mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Pour the cream and egg mixture over the noodles, ensuring even distribution.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the remaining 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Sprinkle the buttery breadcrumbs over the top of the noodle dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dish is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy this rich and flavorful Schinkenfleckerln with a fresh green salad if desired.
