    recipes for leftover ham

    Easter.

    The Cross. The Resurrection.

    Family. Worship. Celebration.

    Food. Ham. Potatoes. Asparagus. Carrots. Pies. Puddings. Cheesecake.

    I can almost taste that delicious, sweet, salty, perfectly baked ham.  Can’t you?

    I love gathering around the table. I love gathering around the table with family. I love gathering around the table with family and catching up, telling stories and cherishing the moment. 

    And when the meal is over and the leftover ham is packed away, I like to dream about what I’ll do with the extra ham. (And some years, what I’ll do with the extra ham that I scored on sale that week!)

    If you’re having ham for your Easter dinner, I imagine you’ll have leftovers.  Because there are always leftovers. 

    Here are some ideas for recipes to use up your leftover Easter ham:

      And remember, if you don’t think you’ll use the leftovers right away, slice and/or dice the ham…then freeze!

        I love to use the bone to make Soup Beans and cornbread. We use leftover ham to make Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

        Ham & Egg Enchiladas
        2 cups diced or chopped ham
        1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar or jack cheese (you can mix them or even use some pepper jack)
        1/2 cup finely sliced green onions
        4 oz. chopped green chiles
        8 flour tortillas
        6 eggs
        1-1/2 cups half & half
        1 Tbsp. flour
        3 drops hot pepper sauce (optional)

        Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. In a medium bowl, combine ham, cheese, onions, and chilies. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll up each tortilla tightly and place in dish. In a bowl, combine eggs, half and half, flour and hot pepper sauce; beat well. Pour evenly over filled tortillas. Cover with foil and bake for 45-55 min. or until eggs are set. Sprinkle with more grated cheese, if desired. Cover and let stand 5 min. for cheese to melt. Good served with salsa.
        ***To make ahead, fill tortillas as directed. Cover and refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, prepare the egg mixture and continue as directed above.***
