Leftover ham? Yes, ma'am!
French flair with a Croque Madame
Elevate your toastie game with the ultimate ham sandwich:
Take that ham and sandwich it between slices of bread with a generous slather of Dijon mustard and plenty of grated gruyere. Dunk the whole creation in beaten eggs and give it a golden pan-fry. Crown it with a fried egg and extra Gruyere – voilà! You've got a Croque Madame fit for a Parisian brunch.
Rice revamp: Ham and prawn fried rice
In a pot pan scramble a couple of eggs, set aside. Heat up a pan and toss in diced ham, vegetables and either raw or leftover prawns. Stir in day-old rice, soy sauce, and a dash of sesame oil for a flavorful fried rice feast. Top with coriander and chilli oil, if desired.

Pizza party - homemade ham pizza!
Roll out that pizza dough (or use a premade base) and slather on some sauce. Top it with shredded mozzarella, your leftover sliced ham and thinly sliced mushrooms.
