This ham is already cooked, so it requires no further preparation before eating. For hot dishes, it can be gently heated in a skillet or oven until warmed through. It is excellent in sandwiches, layered with cheese and other toppings. It can also be diced and added to omelets, quiches, or pasta dishes. For a simple appetizer, arrange slices on a platter with cheese and crackers. It pairs well with mustard or sweet relishes.
