When life gives you leftover ham, why not make devilishly delicious, deviled ham! Deviled Ham is a versatile spicy ham spread which never goes out of style.
Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, mustard, Worchester sauce, ground black pepper, and hot sauce to a food processor fitted with a metal blade and blend until everything is well combined.
Add the ham, parsley, and scallions. Pulse about ten times and check the consistency. The deviled ham should still be reasonably chunky. If you prefer a smoother more spreadable consistency, pulse a few more times.
Taste and add the salt if it needs it. The ham is pretty salty so you may not need to add any salt.
Notes
Sharon's Expert Tips:
If you like it spicier, feel free to add more hot sauce. It is deviled ham after all.
It's important that the cream cheese be at room temperature or it will not mix well with the rest of the ingredients. If its right out of the refrigerator, heat it in the microwave for about 20-25 seconds.
No leftover ham, no problem! Just purchase a small ham steak at your grocery store.
To make ham salad, don't process the ham mixture as much and one stalk of finely chopped celery.
I like to serve deviled ham spread on crackers or spread on croissants for sandwiches. If I am making it for sandwiches, I leave it a little chunkier. If you use large croissants, this recipe makes enough for about three sandwiches, with a liberal amount of filling.
Leftover deviled ham can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to three days.
