Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider incorporating some diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce into the ham mixture. If you're short on time, store-bought cooked ham works well. You can also substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter version. If you prefer a different cheese, mozzarella or pepper jack can be delicious alternatives.
