How to Make Miniature Ham Loaves

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cooked, diced ham, 1 large egg, 1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Grease a mini muffin tin or loaf pan with cooking spray.
  5. Divide the ham mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups or loaf pan.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (Optional: Add 1 tablespoon of pineapple juice for extra flavor).
  7. Pour the syrup evenly over the ham loaves.
  8. (Optional) Top each loaf with 1-2 drained pineapple tidbits.
  9. Bake uncovered for 65 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. If using a loaf pan, increase baking time as needed.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. For freezing: Wrap cooled loaves individually in plastic wrap, then place in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, transfer to the refrigerator overnight before reheating in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
