Ingredients

  • oz chopped/shredded leftover ham (will yield apx. 2/3 cup when ground)
  • tsp sweet pickle relish
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • tbsp celery, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp sweet red pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 1/8 tsp garlic salt
  • 1½ - 2 + tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ large hard-boiled egg, chopped (reserve other half of egg for another purpose – e.g., crumbling over a salad)
  • 1 slice of Havarti cheese (apx. 7/8 oz), chopped (will yield apx. ¼ cup chopped)
  • Freshly ground pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices bread of choice or 2 English muffins (halved and toasted)
  • Butter
  • Lettuce (optional)

Instructions

  1. In bowl of small food processor, pulse ham until ground to the consistency of coarse bread crumbs. Transfer ground ham to small mixing bowl and add the pickle relish, mustard, maple syrup, celery, red pepper, onion, garlic salt, and mayonnaise. Mix well. Stir in the egg and cheese. Season with freshly ground pepper, to taste. If mixture seems dry, add more mayonnaise, one teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
  2. For sandwich, butter each slice of bread. If desired, add lettuce to one slice of bread for each sandwich. Divide filling mixture evenly for the two sandwiches and place on top of lettuce. Add additional lettuce, if desired. Top each with a slice of bread. Slice sandwich in half, diagonally, or into quarters, and serve.

  3. For English muffins, divide filling between the four halves of muffins, spreading mixture to edges of muffin halves. Broil in pre-heated broiler, set to high, for 1½ - 2 minutes, watching carefully to ensure the muffins do not burn. Serve immediately.
  4. Serving Suggestions: Serve with Bread and Butter Pickles, fresh vegetables, a green salad, potato chips, a cup of your favorite soup, or Mac ‘n Cheese.
