Looking for ways to use leftover ham from the holidays? Some of the classic leftover ham recipes include casseroles, ham and pea soup, pasta dishes, quiches and frittatas. Although we love these classics, we are feeling inspired by this collection of left-over ham appetizer recipes!
You’ll need a cooked ham for these recipes so we suggest trying this Maple Orange Marmalade Glazed Ham Recipe.
