A delightful and easy-to-make spread combining ham, eggs, and a touch of spice for a flavorful snack or lunch option.
Chop the cooked ham into small cubes and place them in a mixing bowl.
Ensure the ham is evenly chopped for a consistent texture.
Finely dice the celery and onion, and add them to the bowl with the ham.
Use fresh celery for a crisp texture.
Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs, then mix them into the bowl.
Chop the eggs finely to blend well with the other ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to make the dressing.
Adjust the seasoning to your taste preferences.
Pour the dressing over the ham mixture and stir until well combined.
Ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Chill the spread in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the spread with your choice of bread, crackers, or vegetable sticks.
Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for an appealing presentation.
