Now, I'm looking for recipes for using up leftover ham. Barb's Ham and Egg Salad looks delish. Any others?

Easter Bread
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! We started our morning with some bread nests that turned out so yummy. I suspected they would since I was using a fool proof recipe. A dear friend helped walk me through altering Karen's St. Lucia Bread to make these.
There really wasn't much altering involved. On Holy Saturday night, I whipped up the dough and then after the first rise, I shaped it into four medium size rounds, inserted a colored but uncooked egg into the center and placed them in the fridge to stall the second rise. They baked up in the morning after a quick rise in a warm oven and were delicious for our early morning breakfast before Mass.

They look beautiful. I don't think I have ever heard of these. Yum!
ReplyDeleteMy friend Lara's family is Italian so I'm wondering if it's an Italian tradition.
ReplyDeleteThose turned out beautiful Charlotte! What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely. We had St. Lucia bread on Easter, too, but made the braid and called it Easter bread. :)
ReplyDeleteOh those look good!
ReplyDeleteIdeas for ham.....SOUP. Lots of soup. Potato soup with ham, split pea and ham soup.
Crockpot scalloped potatoes
Thinly slice raw potatoes about 2 pounds, toss with a cup of water and 1 tsp. cream of tartar. Drain. Place half in greased crockpot. Top with a few sliced onions, 1 T. flour, salt and pepper to taste, sliced/chunked ham and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat with another layer. Then on top pour over 1 can of cream of mushroom soup (undiluted) and a little more cheese if you like cheese alot, which we do. Cover and cook on low all day. Sometimes I have to turn it to high in the afternoon if the potatoes are still a little stiff. This recipe fits well in my 3 1/2 qt. crockpot. It can be doubled easily, but will have to cook longer. My family really enjoys this and makes great leftovers.
