unsinkable Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Update: I appreciate all the great ideas! I diced up some Krakus ham in my egg dish. Kind of lame, but I usually make it with bacon so it felt like it was special...and the same people who would have eaten it with bacon, ate it with ham. :D HOWEVER...I had an idea inspired by the replies to make a hot artichoke dip with diced ham, that I'm going to make at the next available opportunity. If it is good, it might be on my Easter menu next year. Thank you! XXXXXXXXXXXXX I'm the only one in my family that really likes ham. Others will eat it, but not enough to make it worthwhile to cook a large amount. But since we always had ham on Easter when I was a child, I like to make something with ham. I usually make a baked egg dish with diced ham and cheddar. Other times I've made ham and cheddar biscuits. I've also made twice baked potatoes with ham. So...any ideas? Edited: I should specify, I'm thinking of an appetizer or side dish to go with dinner or brunch Edited April 23, 2017 by unsinkable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 When people tire of ham and I'm trying to use it up, I tend to make quiche or chicken cordon Bleu casserole. This isn't the exact recipe I use, but they're all pretty similar. http://tastykitchen.com/blog/2012/07/chicken-cordon-bleu-casserole/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Quesadillas. Pasta Carbonara, use ham instead of bacon/pancetta. Mac and cheese with ham. Hawaiian pizza. Ham, broccoli, and cheddar soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Can it replace bacon? *gasps* I think I've seen a recipe of sauted shredded brussel sprouts with bacon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 My go to is to make ah gratin potatoes. I use a container of cottage cheese plus smoked gouda or other favorite cheeks grandstand mixed in, splash of butter or milk, and then just the little bit of ham In have left as flavoring, garlic, salt, and pepper. I do steamed greens beans on the side and put out some fruit. Always a big hit. But I have three boys and well, I think at almost 17, 18.5, & 20 one simply can't go wrong with potatoes!

Erica in OR Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Not sure if it fits the appetizer/side dish requirement, but I love this recipe: Broccoli Ham Ring. You might be able to line a muffin tin with the crescent roll dough and fill it with the broccoli/ham filling for appetizer style? At our church potlucks, someone's signature dish is this Ham and Pea Salad. Very tasty. Erica in OR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 (edited) Teeny ham biscuits. They were a big (har har) hit the one time I made them. I made the biscuits the day before and froze them unbaked on a cookie sheet. Then I just had to bake and slap ham in them.

umsami Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yes to bean soup :) My Mom used to put ham in her scalloped potatoes. Of course, there's always Quiche. My grandma used to make ham salad. (Do people still do that? It was ground ham with mayo, pickle relish, and maybe celery/onions?) You could make ham salad sliders on King's Hawaiian rolls.

kbutton Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Another ham and pea salad--pasta, peas, drained can of tuna, cucumber pieces, and mayo. It sounds really weird, but it's refreshing and tasty.

KungFuPanda Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I make drop biscuits with sausage and cheese. I see no reason why you couldn't do it with ham instead. It would be nice with some Swiss cheese and fresh herbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I like ham and beans (like a tri-bean mix) with chili, cumin, and garlic seasoning and cheddar on a tortilla (top with diced tomatoes and baby spinach), I've been know to do eggs in it too.

umsami Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 I use it in a lot of things but my favotite is fidget pie. I had to Google this, so in case somebody else does http://www.goodtoknow.co.uk/recipes/317565/Hairy-Bikers--Shropshire-Fidget-Pie Apparently, it's a traditional British pie made with ham and apples. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
