23 Leftover Ham Recipes

Now that Easter (or Christmas)  is over, you may have a ton of ham just sitting in the fridge. While ham is not the healthiest to eat all the time, we don’t want to waste it. I’ve put together this roundup of over 20 recipe ideas using ham. From soup recipes to breakfast ideas, there are so many versatile ways you can use ham. Growing up, we always had a ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Those were the two holidays we would have ham. Other times we would use sliced ham from the Deli or packaged ham for sandwiches and omelets.

This past Easter, we had a ton of leftover ham. So, we got out the Instant Pot and made the comfort in a bowl, Instant Pot Minestrone Soup with Ham. 

 

There are some creative ways you can use up that leftover ham. Try it in this recipe for Ham &Cheese Muffins.

Ham is always good in omelets. You can make a batch ahead of time and freeze until you need them (this is great for those early school mornings). Find the recipe here for our Easy Breakfast Recipe: Omelet Breakfast Bites.
