Cheesy Ham Poof

"If you are a cheese lover, then this one is for you, this just melts in your mouth. If desired the cooked ham can be replaced with finely chopped cooked chicken or turkey, but I think it tastes much better with the ham, I have even added frozen squeezed chopped spinach to the mixture.....Remember, serve this as soon as it comes out of the oven, that's when the taste is at it's peak. Great served with a side salad and crusty bread....your going to love this!"

  1. I have been looking for a recipe to imitate a dish that I love at Rosine's in Monterey, CA and this is as close as you can get. Very satisfying! I don't eat ham, so I subbed green chilies. I love cheese, but I think that next time i'll use only 2 c. of cheddar as it was REALLY cheesy. Thanks for helping me satisfy a 3 yr. craving, Kittencal!
     
  2. What a wonderful suprise. It has a nice blend of flavors. I used leftover ham that was hickory smoked. I also used fat free dairy products and it was still a nice creamy taste. It also compliments tomato soup when the cold ham poof is spread on crackers. Thanks for a tasty recipe.
