Baked Ham Slice
Tender baked ham slices glazed with a sweet and tangy mustard and A.1. sauce mixture, complemented by the rich flavor of milk, perfect for family dinners or special occasions.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the ham in a deep baking dish and spread with a paste made from brown sugar, prepared mustard, and A.1. sauce.
- Pour milk around the ham in the baking dish.
- Bake at 350°F for 40 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful glaze, consider adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the brown sugar mixture. If you don’t have A.1. sauce, a combination of Worcestershire sauce and soy sauce can work as a substitute. You can also use honey instead of brown sugar for a different sweetness profile. For a creative twist, try adding crushed pineapple or diced peaches to the milk for a fruity undertone.
Serving Suggestions
This baked ham slice pairs beautifully with Creamy Cheddar Corn And Broccoli for a comforting meal. Serve it alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad like Cloud Nine Ambrosia Salad for a balanced plate. For a hearty touch, consider adding mashed potatoes or a grain like quinoa. A drizzle of the pan juices over the ham enhances the flavor and presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover baked ham can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, place slices in a baking dish, cover with foil, and warm in a preheated oven at 325°F until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual slices for quick reheating, but be careful not to overcook them.
