I believe 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.

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. Another thing that I love is leftover ham is just as delicious “repurposed” as the first time you serve it.

With Easter approaching, I was lucky enough to get the perfect ham, a Cloverdale Foods Teardrop ham. 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 my 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. My 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!

Ham and 3 Cheese Calzone Recipe using Leftover Ham

Using these same ingredients I 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.

Ingredients

1 cup ham diced
1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated
4 slices provolone cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
11 oz pizza dough
2 tbsp butter melted
marinara (optional) for dipping

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F or the recommended temperature for pizza dough. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease with oil.
Unroll pizza dough. Cut out two 8" circles and place on prepared baking sheet. I used a plate as a template.
Brush each circle with melted butter. Sprinkle each with Italian seasoning. Add 2 slices of provolone cheese to each circle. Top with ham, and mozzarella cheese.
Fold each circle in half. Roll and press edge together to seal. Brush with additional melted butter. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15 minutes or until browned.
Serve with marinara sauce or your favorite dipping condiment.

Notes

Nutritional values don't include marinara sauce.

In my video, you see that I made two large calzones. I couldn’t let that dough go to waste. 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 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.
