Double cross post! Ham appetizer?

8 years ago

For those you have seen this in the other forums, please ignore!

We are going out for Easter to a new restaurant that will not serve ham. DH is the only one who would order it, others always order lamb or vegetarian. WE serve appetizers at home before heading out to dinner.

I am looking for an appetizer so DH can get his ham fix!

Thanks.

Deviled ham eggs (like deviled eggs with ham in the filling).

Ham canapes.

Ham "sandwiches" on small baguette slices.

Ham mini-tarts.

Ham mini-quiches.

Chunky ham salad on endive or celery boats.

Choux paste puffs filled with ham pie filling.

Warm ham chunks served with a hot apricot glaze in a fondue pot, with crusty bread chunks or bell pepper wedges to catch the drips.

Ham slices wrapped around whatever filling you like: e.g., nuts and dried fruit, cheese and chopped vegetables, chopped sautéed mushroom and onions, "stuffing", etc.

This aren't my favorite appetizer but a bit different and tasty.

Ham Balls (Sunset)

2 C. (9 oz.) ham pieces
16 oz. can well-drained sauerkraut

3 Tbsp. margarine
1 med. onion, minced
6 Tbsp. flour
1 egg
1/2 tsp. each Worcestershire & dry mustard
1 Tbsp. chopped parsley

Grind ham and sauerkraut together; set aside.
Saute onion in margarine 5 min.
Stir in flour, allowing thick roux to form - about 3 min.; cool slightly.

In lg. bowl, whisk egg, Worcestershire, mustard & parsley.
Blend in cooled roux mixture. Stir in ham-sauerkraut mixture; chill.

Form bite-sized balls, dip in batter & fry in 2" oil. Freeze or serve.
[Frozen ham balls --- reheat at 400 degrees 15 min.]

Batter
1 1/3 C. flour
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 C. water
needs 1/2 tsp. Lawry's seasoning salt

Beat smooth. I find it too thick and blend. 3 more Tbsp. water plus 1/2 tsp. Lawry's seasoned salt helped.
The paprika gives a wonderful color to the batter but I sometimes omit the batter and freeze the ham balls. I think they could use a dipping sauce.

Glenda here is another recipe similar to the one you posted. Have you ever added celery to yours? I have never made Buffalo Chicken Dip but want to soon. Both recipes look delicious and thank you for posting it . I copied the recipe from another website so the son she is talking about is not mine. Bonnie's Buffalo Chicken Dip Brought this dip to our son's house for the playoffs last year...all his friends kept going into the kitchen and saying "What IS this???? Who MADE this???? Dude, did you TASTE that?" 4 - boneless skinless chicken breast halves, about 2 pounds, boiled and shredded with 2 forks (I do mine in the crock pot and then I have homemade chicken broth for other cooking uses; the meat shreds so beautifully, too.) 1 12-ounce bottle Frank's Hot Sauce (try NOT to substitute....Crystal is passable but whatever you do, do NOT use Tabasco!) 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened 1 16-ounce bottle Ranch dressing 1/2 cup chopped celery 8 ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese or combo thereof Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, combine the cooked, shredded chicken meat with the entire bottle of Frank's, spreading to form an even layer. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese and entire bottle of Ranch dressing, stirring til hot and smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over chicken mixture. Sprinkle with chopped celery. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Then add the shredded cheese and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or til bubbly--do not overbake or the cheese topping will get browned and hardened! Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Serve with celery pieces (cut the celery cross-wise, not lengthwise...you want the dip to get scooped into the celery piece)...or with any sturdy dipping chip like Tostito Golds. COMMENTS: This is an awesome dip!

These are the kind of pinwheels I have made. Sometimes with various ingredients depending on what I have available. Easy and good. Also good are roll ups, a flour tortilla spread with some type of cheese spread or cream cheese, layer on top sliced ham, sliced cheese, some people put pickles and olives. Then roll up the tortilla and slice it into rounds. Pinwheels

We. love. ham. DH more than i do but once a year is a good fix. My method, so we don't have a salt coma is to soak it in water for 24hrs minimum...at least 2 rinses...de-salts it quit a bit. (still ham candy)

Why not have a nice ham Friday or Sat night? Then have the usual leftovers for the pre-dinner snacks. Rather than a sandwich, have tiny app open-faced ham on a half biscuit with your usual day-after dressings. We like mustards and caramelized onions...veggie slaw, pickles, capers, goat cheese. Drizzle with honey and broil for 2 min?

Our NewYears day ham became leftover sammy's, soup with white beans and kale/collards. Still had some slices that i froze in three slice packets that i use for quiche and egg fritattas...

Have the ham meal the week or day before and use leftover slices for an app.

I don't care for pineapple but most do...a slice on an open faced sammy with a cherry tomato toothpicked and under the broiler would be easy.

If it's a real 'ham fix" he needs how about threading chunks of ham, alternating with pineapple chunks...or perhaps apple chunks...basting with a mix of dijon mustard, honey and a little bit of juice of some sort....or wine. Either grill or bake the skewers.
I would use those shorter hors'd'ouvres sticks....and have a ready to eat ham and just cook enough to glaze.

Ham egg rolls

2 cups chopped ham

2 cups cole slaw

1 cup of crushed pineapple

1 pkg egg roll wrappers

1 egg

Mix the ham, pineapple, and cole slaw in a large bowl. I usually add some jerk rub at this point, but that's just me. With the egg roll wrapper on an angle like a diamond, put a heaping tablespoon of the mix in the center. Fold in the sides and roll up from the bottom, sealing with some egg wash.

Bake at 325 for around 30 minutes or until they start to brown.
