This ham is already fully cooked, making it ready to eat straight from the package. For a warm serving, you can gently heat slices in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or place them on a baking sheet and warm in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes. It can also be added to casseroles, quiches, or pasta dishes during the last stages of cooking to incorporate its flavor and texture. Dicing it allows for easy incorporation into fried rice or scrambled eggs.
