17 Recipes That Call for Leftover Easter Ham

Easter.

The Cross. The Resurrection.

Family. Worship. Celebration.

Food. Ham. Potatoes. Asparagus. Carrots. Pies. Puddings. Cheesecake.

I can almost taste that delicious, sweet, salty, perfectly baked ham.  Can’t you?

I love gathering around the table. I love gathering around the table with family. I love gathering around the table with family and catching up, telling stories and cherishing the moment. 

And when the meal is over and the leftover ham is packed away, I like to dream about what I’ll do with the extra ham. (And some years, what I’ll do with the extra ham that I scored on sale that week!)

If you’re having ham for your Easter dinner, I imagine you’ll have leftovers.  Because there are always leftovers. 

Here are some ideas for recipes to use up your leftover Easter ham:

• Ham and Cheese Frittata

• Pasta with White Beans and Broccoli

• Ranchero Black and Pinto Beans
