Leftover Ham Pate Recipe

4shares
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Leftover Ham Pate is a smooth processed spread made from leftover baked or boiled ham (gammon) combined with cottage cheese, a little honey, and some mustard.  It’s ideal to spread on bread, toast or crackers

Ham is really versatile meat, serve it hot with parsley sauce or cold with salad. Add it to pasta or rice.  Leftover Ham Pate is the recipe for the little bit of ham that is left over.  Not quite enough to stretch to another family meal, perhaps a bit awkward to cut as it’s too small.

Ingredients for Leftover Ham Pate

The main ingredients for the recipe are cooked ham and cottage or curd cheese.  If you don’t have the exact quantities that I give in the recipe, use double the weight of ham to cottage cheese.

spoonful of honey

Honey

Add a teaspoon of honey for a little sweetness. You won’t notice the sweet taste but it brings out the sweetness in the ham.  

Cream

The cream is optional in this recipe. I had some in the fridge and it does add a little luxury, but if you don’t have any you can leave it out.

Mustard

Add a teaspoon of Dijon Mustard to the pate.  Ham and mustard complement each other very well.  

Other flavourings to try (use two, one sweet and one sharp)

  • Try adding creamed horseradish instead of mustard or use grain mustard. 
  • A teaspoon of lemon juice will add a fresh flavour.
  • Cranberry Sauce makes a good substitute for honey if you are using Leftover Ham from Christmas. 
  • Chopped gherkins or other pickles 
  • Chutney or Relish

Put the chopped ham in the food processor and chop finely.  Add the other ingredients and process until smooth.

Leftover Ham Pate is not just for spreading.  I topped a baked potato with some of the ham pate and served with a simple tomato and basil salad. 

It’s a great way to use up leftover ham it also extends it much further than serving it sliced.

    Lovely savoury lunchtime treat. I knew someone many years ago who used to make something like this quite regularly, but I hadn't thought about it for years. I'm feeling very nostalgic now – well, actually, hungry and nostalgic in that order.
