Ingredients
Instructions
- Place the slice of ham in a shallow baking pan.
- Broil the ham for 15 minutes or until brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven; turn the ham over and spread the uncooked side with a mixture of mustard and honey.
- Return the ham to the broiler and cook under low heat for 10 minutes, watching closely so it does not burn.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of black pepper or a dash of cayenne to the mustard-honey mixture. If you don't have honey, maple syrup can be a delicious alternative. Ensure your oven is preheated for even cooking, and keep a close eye on the broiling process to prevent burning, as broilers can vary in intensity.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ham steak with a side of roasted vegetables or a refreshing Ham And Vegetable Salad for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with creamy mashed potatoes or a hearty grain like quinoa. For brunch, slice the ham and layer it on a bagel with cream cheese for a savory twist.
