How to Make Asparagus Ham Potato Topper

  1. Preheat your microwave.
  2. Place 2-3 hot baked potatoes on a microwave-safe plate.
  3. Gently fluff the potatoes with a fork, creating a well in the center of each.
  4. Top each potato with 2-3 slices of cooked ham.
  5. In a small bowl, stir a can (10.75 oz) of creamy asparagus soup until smooth.
  6. Spoon the soup evenly over the ham and potatoes, filling the wells.
  7. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese (optional).
  8. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the soup is heated through and the cheese is melted (if using).
  9. Carefully remove from the microwave (plate will be hot) and enjoy immediately!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
