Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using turkey or chicken ham instead of regular ham. You can substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar or mozzarella if preferred. To add more veggies, try including roasted red peppers or spinach. If you want extra flavor, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the cheese sauce. This dish can also be adapted for brunch by serving it alongside a fresh Avocado Salad Boats.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is best served hot, straight from the oven. It pairs beautifully with a simple side salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal. For a heartier option, consider serving alongside Ranch-Style Meat Loaf. For a fun twist, offer a selection of dips or sauces for guests to enjoy with their wraps.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), cover the dish with foil, and warm for about 15-20 minutes until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions, but the oven will help retain the crispiness of the toasted bread.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh broccoli instead of frozen for this recipe?
Yes, fresh broccoli can be used, but it should be blanched first to ensure it's tender. Simply boil the broccoli spears for 2-3 minutes and then plunge them into ice water to stop the cooking process before wrapping them in ham.
Can I prepare this dish ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can assemble the ham wraps and the cheese sauce a day in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator and combine them just before baking. This will save time and can enhance the flavors as they meld overnight.
What can I serve with Ham Wrap Arounds?
These Ham Wrap Arounds pair well with a light salad or roasted vegetables. For a more filling meal, consider serving them alongside a creamy potato dish or a flavorful grain like quinoa. You can also serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
