Best Ham And Cheddar Snacks Recipes

HAM AND CHEDDAR SNACKS

Steps:

• Cut cheese into 12 slices; cut each slice diagonally in half. Cut each ham slice into 6 pieces.
• Top each cracker with 1 ham piece, 1/4 tsp. mustard, 1 cheese triangle and 1 olive slice.

HAM AND CHEESE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat; set aside. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, garlic powder and salt. Add cold butter, using your fingers to work the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in buttermilk, cheese, ham and chives until a soft dough forms. Working on a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 3-4 times until it comes together. Using a rolling pill, roll the dough into an 8″ circle, about 1-inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges. Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until firm to the touch and lightly browned. Serve warm.

LAYERED HAM AND CHEESE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter remaining. Add the buttermilk and pulse a few times, until the dough just comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface that's lightly dusted with flour, then pat into a 7-by-7-inch square that's about 1 inch thick. Scatter half of the ham and 1/4 cup of the Cheddar on half of the dough, then fold the other half of dough over like a book; gently pinch the edges to seal. Pat the dough out again into a 7-by-7-inch square, scatter the remaining ham and 1/4 cup of cheese on top and fold the dough over like a book. Press once more into a 7-by-7-inch square.
• Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the dough into 12 even rectangular pieces. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops of each piece with additional buttermilk. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and well browned, 18 to 20 minutes.

HAM, BROCCOLI AND CHEDDAR FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, cream, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper together in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in the broccoli, ham, Cheddar and Monterey Jack until well combined.
• Pour the mixture into an oven-safe, 10-inch nonstick skillet. Bake until the eggs are just set and no longer jiggly in the middle, 50 to 55 minutes. Let sit for 5 minutes before sliding the frittata out of the skillet onto a serving platter. Slice into wedges to serve.

GRILLED HAM AND CHEDDAR SANDWICH

Steps:

• Mix mayonnaise, steak and Worcestershire sauces, dry mustard, and cayenne in small bowl.
• Spread 4 slices bread with thin layer of grainy mustard and top with layer of onion, 2 pieces of ham, and the cheese. Spread mayonnaise mixture over remaining bread and place on sandwiches. Brush both sides of sandwiches with butter.
• Heat large skillet over medium heat. Add sandwiches and fry, turning once, until golden, about 3 m inutes each side. Serve hot.

HAM AND SHARP CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine onion and butter in a skillet over medium-low heat and cook until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes; cool.
• In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add butter and mix with your fingers until mealy in texture. Add the onions, buttermilk, ham and cheese, stirring in with a spatula until just incorporated, but it still should be a bit loose.
• Scoop out the batter with a large spoon to form 12 biscuits and lightly shape them with floured hands.
• Arrange close together on the baking sheet for soft biscuits, or spread them apart for crisper biscuits.
• Brush with hot melted butter.
• Bake 5 minutes then reduce temperature to 450F and bake a further 15 minutes or until deep golden brown.
• Cool in pan for several minutes then invert onto kitchen towel.
• Turn right side up and serve hot.

CHEDDAR HAM CUPS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the cheese, ham, mayonnaise, bacon and mustard. Split biscuits into thirds. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of ungreased miniature muffin cups. Fill each with about 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture., Bake at 450° until cups are golden brown and cheese is melted, 9-11 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes before removing from the pans. Serve warm.
