"Another ham leftover recipe--one my grandmother used after Christmas and Easter."

 

• Ready In: 1hr
• Ingredients: 15
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• Biscuits

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons cold butter
• 1⁄2 cup milk

• Creamed Ham

• 1 cup cubed ham
• 1⁄4 cup chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1⁄2 teaspoon chicken bouillon granule

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 3⁄4 cups milk
• 3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

directions

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in milk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 8-10 times. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. Pat or roll out to 1/2 inch thickness; cut with a floured 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter. Place 2 inches apart on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 425°F for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Meanwhile in a large skillet, saute ham and onion in butter for 3-4 minutes or until onion is crisp-tender.
4. Stir in bouillon, Worcestershire sauce and pepper. Combine the flour and milk until smooth; gradually stir into the pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Gently stir in the eggs and parsley.
5. Split the warm biscuits in half horizontally; top with warm ham mixture.

restaurant quality recipe. Will try it with chipped beef. Great taste and will definitely print and add to collection for future generations.

this recipe was easy and delicious. Of course, I made my biscuits out of Bisquick!

This recipe was fantastic! I don't bake so I served over toast points. I also used shallots instead of onion (I was out) and added a handful of grated Gruyere cheese at the end. I didnt have any parsley so I topped with a tiny bit of green onion for garnish. It is going in my recipe box under "what to do with leftover ham". Thank you so much for posting!

I bought an extra ham at the holidays and froze for later. Thats when we tried this. Excellent dish. I like creamed chicken or turkey on toast,rice, biscuits etc. And this creamed ham recipe can hold its own against that. I could see using this to make a pot pie. Just use a puff pastry or pie shell and prepare the creamed ham, maybe with a few potatoes but that would be it. A keeper for sure.
