Time 9h30m

Yield 4 to 6 serving

Number Of Ingredients 5

One 1-pound loaf frozen bread dough
Nonstick cooking spray
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1/2 pound shaved Virginia ham
1/2 pound Irish Cheddar or other white Cheddar, grated

Steps:

  • Thaw the bread dough overnight, then bring to room temperature before rolling (but don't let it rise).
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll the bread dough into a 9-by-12-inch rectangle. When rolling, if the dough springs back, cover with a dry towel and let it rest for 5 minutes.
  • Shingle the ham slices onto the dough, leaving a 1/4 inch of exposed dough on all sides. Sprinkle with the cheese and roll the dough into a large log, pinching together the seam and tucking the ends under to seal completely.
  • Place the log, seam-side down, in the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and cooked through and the internal temperature is 200 degrees, for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Slice and serve.

SAVORY GRUYèRE BREAD WITH HAM



Savory Gruyère Bread With Ham image

The ham and cheese-filled loaf is the savory quick bread you didn't know you needed. We love it with Gruyère, but sharp cheddar works just as well.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     cookbooks     Bread     Cheese     Ham     Green Onion/Scallion

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons (½ stick/56 grams) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for the pan
2½ cups (325 grams) all-purpose flour, plus more for the pan
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup (180 grams) coarsely chopped ham
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions, white and green parts (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
2 cups (8 ounces/198 grams) grated Gruyère or sharp cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
1 cup (240 milliliters) buttermilk

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a metal 9 × 5-inch loaf pan and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Stir in the chopped ham, scallions if using, thyme, and 1¾ cups (7 ounces) of the Gruyère (reserving the rest for topping). In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and buttermilk. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. The batter will be thick.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly, smoothing the top. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup (1 ounce) cheese over the top. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with some moist crumbs attached, 45 to 55 minutes.
  • Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let it cool for 10 minutes. Then remove the bread from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.

Tips:

  • Choose quality ingredients: Use fresh eggs, high-quality ham, and sharp cheddar cheese. These ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of the loaf.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the loaf tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the loaf in a loaf pan: This will help the loaf to rise evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Let the loaf cool completely before slicing: This will help the loaf to hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
  • Serve the loaf with your favorite sides: This loaf is great served with eggs, fruit, or yogurt for breakfast, or with a salad or soup for lunch or dinner.

Conclusion:

This ham, cheese, and egg loaf is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its combination of protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats, this loaf is a great way to start your day or refuel after a workout.
