How to Make Apricot Glazed Ham Patties

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb cooked ham (diced), 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup milk, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon dried sage, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Shape the mixture into 6 patties, about 3/4 inch thick.
  5. Place the patties in a shallow baking dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
