Recipe: 1 - Ham & Cheese Sliders Recipe »

Got some leftover Christmas ham? Don't waste a single slice! Turn it into easy, delicious meals like ham and cheese sliders, delicious puffy gibanica, pea and ham soup, flakey cafe style croissants and loaded garlic bread. Perfect for lazy days between Christmas and New Year when you want food without a lot of effort!

1 - Ham & Cheese Sliders

I swear I sometimes put aside some extra ham for these sliders. We often bring them on a picnic or to the beach in the days after Christmas. They're delicious warm but also really yummy cold!

2 - Ham & Cheese Gibanica

A gibanica is a Balkan pastry and one of the most delicious ever! And with your leftover ham you can make a delicious ham and cheese version. It's super easy to make and the spongy texture is addictive!

3 - Garlic Ham Cheese Bread

Ok hear me out. Garlic bread for New Years Eve parties is the best kind of garlic bread. For this bread we add sliced Christmas ham with cheese, tomato pesto and chilli oil. Why have plain garlic bread when you can have loaded ham and cheese garlic bread?

4 - Double Pea and Ham Soup

This one is for y'all in the Northern Hemisphere having a cold weather Christmas. Everyone loves this double pea and ham soup that uses green split peas as well as a small bag of frozen green peas. Instead of using a ham hock try using diced Christmas ham!

5 - Ham & Cheese Croissant

We're in that glorious "what day is it?" period between Christmas and New Years (my favourite time of the year) and when you've got a surplus of time make these ham and cheese croissants with a leek bechamel!

So tell me Dear Reader, do you have a lot of leftovers after Christmas this year?
