several options. My wife and I enjoy ';breakfast for dinner';, sometimes. We will scramble eggs w/cheese, and use cubed ham in them. Also, make a garden salad and use ham, chicken, steak, or other leftover meat on top. Very healthy.
my mom makes ham salad.she grinds up the ham and puts mayo and pickles in it..
we use ham (and any other leftovers) from the refrigerator...and stir fry them till they are hot...warm some flour tortillas and serve like a burrito.


add fresh veggies...and top with a bit of cheese
flake it up real fine, add some dijon mustard, shallots chopped real fine, some sweet wine if you got, and some fresh chopped herbs lots of dill and tarragon, mix it up season till it tastes good, then get some good crusty bread and just spread it on and enjoy !
