Ham is one of the most popular dishes on Holiday tables. It’s versatile and leftover ham is just as tasty as when it’s first served.
Leftover ham is just as delicious “repurposed” as the first time you serve it.
What I love about ham is it’s so versatile. Ham is great for any meal, snack, or appetizer and can be served hot or cold which makes it perfect for entertaining too.

I honestly love this brand because their ham is gluten-free, boneless, and so lean that I can use every inch of it.
I’ve also been fortunate to use their Chipotle Garlic Bacon in my amazing Chipotle Garlic Bacon Wrapped Brats with Avocado Pico recipe and their Zesty Garlic Summer Sausage in our Zesty Garlic Summer Sausage Egg Roll recipe.
I only have 6 people coming for Easter so cut my ham in half and put one half in the freezer.
John and I have a restaurant that we go to. He loves their calzone but for some reason, they take so long to bake compared to some of their other dishes so he doesn’t order it very often.
The version of this Ham and 3 Cheese Calzone took 12 minutes to put together and 15 minutes to bake.
We loved them with a side of marinara. I will definitely be making some smaller versions with my leftover ham and serving them as appetizers. They’re guaranteed to go quickly!
Don’t have time to make it now? Pin it for Later!
In my video, you see that I made two large calzones. I couldn’t let that dough go to waste.
Using these same ingredients we made a stromboli. You could have used the diced ham but I sliced it thinly in my version and rolled it into a log before baking.

Baking it up in these ham, egg, and cheese breakfast muffins are like a breakfast sandwich.
John loved reheating them at breakfast with a couple of dashes of hot sauce.
I’ve made egg cups before but he said with the bottom crust they tasted more like an egg sandwich and loved them.

I never really ate ham until the last few years as Braxton loved it so much. When I would make it there would always be some leftover that he would pick on for days at a time. This year will be bittersweet as I will make a ham and we will enjoy it but I know there will be even more left over. These calzones are the best way to use it!
