Categories     appetizer

Time 1h

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

One 10-ounce package sliced country ham, such as Smithfield
Two 8-ounce blocks cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded extra-sharp Cheddar
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large shallot, grated (about 1/3 cup)
Freshly ground black pepper
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Butter crackers, corn tortilla chips (not too thin) and sliced celery, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Place the ham slices on a microwave-safe dish lined with paper towels. Cover the ham with a damp paper towel and microwave on low heat until the ham is slightly crisp on the edges and the fat is absorbed in the paper towels, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Remove the ham from the microwave and discard the paper towels. Using two forks, shred the ham into small bite-size pieces. Place the ham into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the cream cheese, Cheddar, sour cream, garlic powder, shallot and 1 teaspoon black pepper to the mixing bowl and stir to combine. Spread the ham and cheese mixture into a 9-inch pie plate. Set aside.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the pecans, butter and Worcestershire sauce. Sprinkle the seasoned pecans over the ham and cheese dip.
  • Bake the dip until hot and bubbly around the edges, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve warm with butter crackers, corn tortilla and celery.
