A savory ham and egg salad served warm in a bun, featuring cheddar, green pepper, and relish for a flavorful, crowd-pleasing lunch or casual meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine the diced hard-boiled eggs, cooked chopped ham, shredded Cheddar cheese, chopped onion, chopped green pepper, relish, and salad dressing in a bowl.
- Spread the mixture evenly on hamburger buns.
- Wrap the filled buns in foil.
- Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes until heated through.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting the chopped onion with green onions or chives. If you prefer a creamier texture, you can replace the salad dressing with mayonnaise or a mixture of Greek yogurt and mustard. This filling also works well with turkey or chicken instead of ham, making it versatile for different tastes. If you have leftover ingredients, you can use them in recipes like Tailgate Salad.
Serving Suggestions
These Knob Hill Sandwiches are perfect for picnics or casual gatherings. Serve them with a side of chips or a refreshing salad, such as a Squash-Tomato Combo, for a complete meal. They can also be cut into smaller portions for appetizers at parties, giving guests a taste of this delicious filling.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover filled buns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap them in foil and place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes, or until heated through. Avoid using the microwave as it can make the buns soggy.
