I've always made chicken sandwich spread, but after tasting a wonderful ham sandwich with not ham slices and vegetables, but rather with ham bits and spiced mayo, I decided I wanted to make my own version. And mine would have ham, boiled eggs, pimiento and mayonnaise, as well as pickle relish and ground peppercorns.
It was yummy on bread -
The recipe:
200 grams smoked lean ham, diced
4 hard boiled eggs, chopped
roughly 1/4 cup diced pimientos
about 1 cup of mayonnaise
about 1/2 teaspoon of pickle relish (or more, if desired)
about 1/2 teaspoon ground peppercorns
Just toss everything together and chill.
Notes:
A cup of mayonnaise will result in a "chunky" spread. 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise is perfect if you like a "wetter" spread.
Personally I like a tangy spread so I always add more pickle relish, sometimes even up to half a tablespoon.
You can skip seasoning with salt because the smoked ham is usually salty already)
