Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams cooked ham
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon pickle relish
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Roughly chop the cooked ham into smaller pieces for easier blending or processing.
Place the chopped ham into a food processor and pulse several times until finely ground. Avoid over-processing into a paste.
Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, dijon mustard, pickle relish, onion powder, garlic powder, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend all the ingredients together until well combined and smooth. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add a pinch of salt if the spread is not salty enough, depending on your ham and personal preference.
Transfer the ham spread to a bowl or container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Pair with crackers, bread, or fresh vegetables for a delicious snack or appetizer.
