1. Charcuterie Board
A charcuterie board is a fantastic way to incorporate ham into an appetizer. It’s a beautiful dish that allows you to serve a wide variety of different finger foods that will satisfy every person at a party.
2. Pinwheel Sandwiches
These little finger sandwiches are also a crowd-pleaser. Make one kind or make them all. Check out all of my delicious flavors including Italian, Club, Tuna Salad, Taco, and BLT (with bonus recipes)!
3. Deviled Eggs
Ham and eggs have always been a breakfast favorite, so it is only natural that deviled eggs would be a perfect match for dinner as well. The tang of mustard in these traditional deviled eggs will intensify the flavor of the ham.
4. Pigs In A Blanket
Super popular crescent dogs are made in mini form using tasty Lil' Smokies sausages and crescent rolls! They're a family favorite appetizer that everyone loves and perfect for serving with ham!
5. Bacon Cheddar Green Bean Casserole
Bacon and ham come from the same place, so you can imagine bacon cheddar green bean casserole being served alongside ham.
6. Acorn Squash
I love acorn squash. It’s a flexible dish that can be served sweet or savory, so depending on how you flavor your ham, you can adjust accordingly.
7. Honey Glazed Carrots
Honey glazed carrots are one of the more requested favorites amongst my family members. They’re coated in honey, brown sugar, and herbs that create a sweet and savory blend, and it goes well with any way you cook your ham.
