Omelette? Ham, cheese, onion and green bell pepper would be good with egg whites!

Or as someone else suggested, split pea and ham soup.

Portion it into single servings and freeze?

Ooooh leftover ham soup is my favorite! Literally I just had these leftovers for lunch :happy:

Chop celery, carrots & leeks (sub onion if you'd like) into soup pot with butter and/or evoo. Let cook for about 5 minutes stirring frequently. Top with a couple tablespoons of flour and stir. If flour isn't getting incorporated add more butter/evoo. Stir and let brown a bit. Add some warm milk (you can use anything from skim to heavy cream - obviously cream tastes better but skim is better for you) and then top with broth (chicken/veggie/ham/homemade - see below). Toss in diced potatoes (yukon gold skin on) and let simmer for a half hour or so. Toss in cubed meat for 10ish more minutes then taste for seasoning. Add salt, pepper & crushed red pepper to taste. Serve with rustic whole wheat bread loaf for a real treat.

If you have the bone still from the ham you could make your own broth in a separate pot. I add water and some veggie stock and the ends of the celery/carrots/leeks leftover from chopping them up for soup. I have an over sized tea steeper that I put fresh herbs in (thyme is my favorite for soups). Let that simmer for as long as you have the patience for before you start the above recipe and just pour this into the soup pot after the milk through a colander.

I suck at measuring or timing things, so all of this is a rough estimate.
