Ham And Cheese Chop Chop Food

HAM AND CHEESE-STUFFED PORK CHOPS WITH DIJON SAUCE (COOKING FOR 2)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Using small sharp knife, make pocket in each pork chop by cutting into side of chop toward bone. Season chops with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Place Swiss cheese slices on top of ham slices, and starting from one of the short ends, roll up. Tuck 1 ham and cheese roll into each pork chop pocket.
• In shallow pan, stir flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Coat both sides of pork chops with flour mixture. Beat egg in shallow bowl with whisk to blend. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip pork chops into beaten egg; turn to coat. Dredge in bread crumb mixture, coating completely.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add pork chops; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Transfer to lightly greased 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until pork is no long pink (at least 145°F).
• Meanwhile, in 8-inch skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add shallots; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Add broth and wine; cook 10 to 15 minutes or until reduced by three-fourths. Stir in cream; cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened. Stir in mustard and parsley. Remove from heat.
• Place pork chops on serving plates. Serve with sauce.

EASY STUFFED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Make a 2-inch long cut in the side of each chop to form pocket. Top each ham slice with 1 Singles and 1/4 of the spinach; roll up. Stuff 1 ham roll in pocket in each chop; press edges of pocket together to seal.
• Sprinkle both sides of chops evenly with sage.
• Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add chops; cook 8 to 10 min. on each side or until cooked through and golden brown on both sides.

HAM AND CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• In bowl beat cream cheese, sour cream and soup mix until smooth.
• Stir in ham and cheese.
• Form into a ball.
• Refrigerate.
• You may roll in chopped nuts before serving, if desired.
• Serve with crackers.

CHOPPED HAM AND CHEESE SPREAD

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese, Miracle Whip, Red Hot sauce, and horseradish, until smooth.
• Stir in the remaining ingredients and taste before adding salt.
• The ham usually adds enough salt.
• Chill, covered, until serving.
• (It's best if allowed to sit a couple of hours, but can be served immediately).
• NOTE: You need the sweetness that the Miracle Whip adds; that's the reason for not using mayo.
• Also, if you use a different hot sauce you will want to adjust the amount.
• Frank's isn't very spicy, but it adds wonderful flavor.
• Something like Tabasco will add much more heat, but not as much flavor.

HAM & CHEDDAR CHOPPED SALAD

Steps:

• Combine first 5 ingredients.
• Spoon onto plate.
• Top with cheese.

HAM & CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put the gammon, skin-side up, in a deep roasting tin, then pour over 1 litre water. Scatter over the peppercorns, onion, carrots and bay leaves, then cover tightly with foil and roast for 2 hrs.
• While the ham is in the oven, cook the cauliflower in a large pan of boiling salted water for 3-4 mins until just cooked, then drain well. Leave to steam-dry in the colander.
• Remove the ham from the oven, take off the foil and set aside on a large dish or board until cool enough to handle. Strain the liquid into a jug and set aside. Using a sharp knife, cut away the string and skin to leave a thin, even layer of fat. Use the tip of the knife to score the ham fat into a diamond pattern, if you like.
• To make the cheese sauce for the cauliflower, melt the butter in a shallow saucepan and stir in the flour to make a sandy paste. Slowly pour in 500ml of the reserved ham stock to make a silky sauce, then add the cream. Season with a grating of nutmeg and a grinding pepper, then taste to see if it needs more salt. Bring to a simmer and stir gently for 5 mins, then take off the heat and stir through all the cauliflower and most of the cheese. Will keep chilled for up to 24 hours.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Spoon the cauliflower cheese into a large roasting tin and bake for 20 mins until the sauce is bubbling and the cauliflower is tender.
• Heat the grill to medium, and nestle the ham, fat-side up, in the middle of the cauliflower cheese. To glaze, brush the ham fat with the mustard, then scatter over the sugar (don't worry if some goes on the cauliflower). Scatter over the remaining cheese (avoid getting any on the ham) and grill for 10-15 mins until the ham is glossy and browned and the cauliflower cheese is bubbling and golden. Leave to rest for 5 mins before serving.
