Leftover Ham

We've just fried off a load of mushrooms, garlic and ham cubes and served it on a slice of garlic bread. Tasted amazing!
You can cube it and add it to omelettes, salads, stirfries.
Make a ham and pea soup.0 -
Or a quiche.0

Ham pie
Lightly sauté mushrooms, onion, make a sauce over it ...butter, flour and stock, chuck in ham, some herbs cover with pastry0 -
-sandwiches
-fried ham and fried eggs
-scrambled eggs or omelet with diced ham
-dice and add to salads (e.g., Cobb salad)
-ham and potato casserole (google a recipe - I'm thinking of something made with sliced potato, possible parboiled before assembling casserole, ham, onion, and a white sauce or some sort of condensed "cream" soup, such as cream of celery)
-dice and add to soups (beans soups, obviously; ham would be good in hot and sour soup in lieu of pork; you could use it lieu of sausage in a sausage and escarole or kale soup; or just toss it in the soup pot with whatever veggies you have)
You can always freeze leftover ham until you're in the mood to cook your preferred sides again.0 -
pea and ham soup. So comforting and warming. And a pleasant change from all the rich Christmas food. Also either turkey and ham or chicken and ham pie (whatever bird you might have some meat left over from), make some white sauce add the ham and whatever else you have and either have it with a pastry crust, or mashed potatoes on top and put in oven to crust over. Or make some parsley sauce, mashed potatoes with scallion chopped through it (champ), ham and whatever veg you like, I find savoy cabbage goes particularly well with it, but peas, carrots, cauliflower or broccoli is just as good. Whatever you do - enjoy. I love the flavour of ham with almost anything, even a ham and cheese toastie, or (croque monsieur even if you have the calories to fry it in butter) lol.0

Mmm. I've never tried a savory pie combining ham and poultry (I've done ham and cheese pie, and chicken or turkey alone). That really sounds good. I need to get a ham and a bird so I'll have leftovers to try it. We had lasagna for Christmas this year, which was very yummy and a nice relaxing meal, since there wasn't so much to do at the last minute.0 -
cooked cabbage, soft boiled potatoes, some butter and ham mixed together = yum!
now wishing we had remembered to bring home some of the ham we took to MIL's house..

Plain, warmed up. Great diet food !! Full of lean protein.0

We use if for sandwiches, breakfast, pots of beans and soup. My friend makes ham salad. She chopped it up very fine with a food processor and adds mayo, pickles, stuff you would find in chicken or tuna salad.

I hope you like it, it's one of our favourites. Good idea with the lasagne to make for a more relaxing day. We can put a lot of pressure on ourselves at this time of year. Happy New Year0 -
What do I do with it? All the Christmas sides are gone already somehow. But there's so much ham
Freeze it.
sandwiches- ham salad is popular with my family, grilled ham and cheese
Put it in casseroles. Broccoli cheese rice/potato casserole with ham added is pretty good.
Add to bean or potato soup.
Add to eggs.
Add to pasta.
Scalloped potatoes and ham.
I make something similar to this but add ham and a bit of bacon. http://www.budgetbytes.com/2015/03/skillet-potatoes-and-green-beans/0 -
I love ham salad! But I frequently buy small quantities of ham and use sandwich thins and mustard to make a low calorie snack.0
-
Ham and potato casserole sounds like a winner
Anybody have recipes for that by chance?0 -
I remember my grandma doing scalloped potatoes with the leftover ham and also potato/ham soup. I've been doing an English muffin with a slice of ham and a fried egg with whatever cheese or spread I'm in the mood for...yum.0

Pasta carbonara is the first thing I think of. Sauté bacon with onion until done, add chopped ham and continue to cook. Deglaze the pan with a bit of wine or brandy etc. Combine with freshly cooked pasta, along with a couple of beaten eggs and Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring to combine, season to your liking. The heat from the pasta and bacon/ham/onion mixture will cook the egg. You could also add a bit of cream, but it's not necessary since all ingredients will form a delicious sauce that sticks to the pasta. Serve with mor shredded Parmesan on top.... Use real cheese, not the powdered stuff, or use different cheeses. Yum! Have a glass of wine with it.0

I was going to suggest the same thing! Only difference is that I use no bacon...I use ham only. I follow the American test kitchen recipe that includes a wee bit of white wine in the sauce...love this recipe!
The other thing I do with ham is make a split pea soup with it. The soup is even better if you are lucky enough to have the ham bone. I like to make a big batch and freeze half of it.0 -
Great now I'm totally craving pasta carbonara... I make mine with pancetta.0

I am weird, I like lunch meat hams (high quality ones that aren't salty) but usually hate a regular dinner ham. I made a decent one this year, and now do have leftovers. I think I am going to make a ham and potato casserole, I make a basic cream sauce, then add cheese, then pour it over sliced potatoes and ham and bake it. I used to do this with ground beef, like a scratch hamburger helper.0

fried rice0

So far? Ham and cheese omelets.
Next up: slow cooker split pea soup.0 -
These breakfast egg muffins are so so delicious and perfect for a quick, on the go breakfast! I'm going to use my leftover ham to either make them or a ham and white bean soup.0

I had a lot of ham left too. I love ham sliced and wrapped around dill pickle spears and laughing cow swiss cheese spread. Ham salad. Ham in Mac and cheese (light of course) is a family favorite. Grilled with a little maple syrup with breakfast... mmmmm0
