👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Chop the ham: Cut the cooked ham into chunks and pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Don’t over-process into a paste.

3. Add egg: Fold in the chopped hard-boiled egg if using.
4. Adjust: Mix until creamy and well combined. Add a little more mayonnaise if you prefer a softer texture.
5. Chill: Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can blend.
6. Serve: Spoon onto bread or crackers, or serve over lettuce with your favorite sandwich toppings. 🥪❤️

Tip: For extra crunch, add finely chopped pickles or a little green onion.
