Preheat the oven to 200C/gas 6.

Hard boil the eggs by placing them in a pan of boiling salted water and cook for about 6 minutes. Drain, then shell the eggs.

Peel the potatoes and cut into quarters, then place in a large saucepan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20-30 minutes, or until cooked. Drain the potatoes then mash them thoroughly.

Bring the milk almost to the boil (do not boil it) then pan from the heat and pour the milk into the mashed potato, beating it in thoroughly.

Beat the butter and parmesan cheese into the mashed potato.

Whisk the egg whites until stiff, then fold them into the mashed potato.

Butter the inside of an ovenproof dish, such as a soufflé dish. Sprinkle half the breadcrumbs over the inside of the dish.

Spoon half the potato mixture into the dish. Place the cheese and ham on the top, spreading it out, then slice the hard boiled eggs and arrange them over the sliced mozarella cheese and ham.

Put the rest of the potato mixture on top. Sprinkle with the rest of the breadcrumbs and bake in the oven for about 20-25 minutes until golden and crunchy on top.
