21 Leftover Ham Recipes
Here you will find 20 ideas for leftover ham, from healthy options to takeout favorites, some baking ideas, breakfast, of course, and salads.
And pasta? Oh yes!
How to Reheat Leftover Ham
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Place ham in a shallow baking dish, add 1/2 cup broth or even water to the dish, and cover with foil.
Reheat for 20 to 25 minutes or until warmed through. This time will vary depending on how many slices you are reheating and how thick those slices are.
How to Store Leftover Ham
How long does cooked ham last in the fridge? The FDA says it will keep the refrigerator up to a week. I like to use it within 3 to 4 days, which is easy when you’re thinking sandwiches, soups, stir-frys, and more.
For longer storage, ham can be frozen for up to 1 month when it’s wrapped and stored in air-tight freezer containers.
