This glazed ham is sweet on the outside, salty and tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious in every bite.

It looks appetizing and tastes equally great. It’s ideal for Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter.

These morsels combine ham and cheese together in one perfect bite. It’s a classic flavor combination that never disappoints.

Freezing outside? Nothing beats a bowl of hot ham soup to warm you up.

This soup is rich and creamy, and it’s loaded with tons of cheese and bacon! There’s broccoli, too, which admittedly, kids might not appreciate. 

But because of the abundance of cheese in this soup, I’m pretty sure they won’t even notice.

4. Keto Chicken Cordon Bleu Soup

This soup has everything you love in a scrumptious cordon bleu, chicken, ham, cheese, and all.

A mix of cheeses, sour cream, and heavy cream make this casserole ridiculously rich and creamy. 

Chunks of ham and broccoli are added to provide a flavor and textural variety. The dish isn’t overwhelmingly rich, but perfectly well-balanced.

7. Ham Pickle Dip

This ham pickle dip only calls for three basic ingredients: ham, cream cheese, and pickles.

You just throw all the ingredients into the blender, pulse, and voila!

It’s embarrassingly easy to make, but at the same time, ridiculously delicious.

Obviously, it’s best used for dipping, but I won’t judge if you simply eat it with a spoon.

8. Keto Ham, Cheddar, and Jalapeno Bites

If you like a rich appetizer with a kick, these bites perfectly fit the bill.

These morsels have almond flour and egg for their base which makes them super light and fluffy.  

Every bite is filled with flavors from cheddar cheese, cream cheese, ham, and jalapenos.

With this combination, you get a wonderfully salty flavor profile with a strong punch from the peppers.

We can’t call this a round-up of ham recipes without a Monte Cristo, now, can we?

But since we’re all about keto-friendly dishes, today, this recipe uses keto cream cheese pancakes for the bread.

Drizzled with sugar-free maple syrup, the salty sandwich gets some good-old sugar-lovin’ for a wonderful flavor contrast.

10. Keto Ham Salad

Think about a rich and creamy tuna salad, but instead of canned tuna, you’ll use ham.

This ham salad is salty and creamy with a tangy twist.

It might not be as satisfying, but it’s the next best thing.

Plus, there are so many other things to look forward to in this dish, such as ham, broccoli, and cheese!

13. Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole

This chicken cordon bleu casserole has all the elements of the classic dish. 

The fact that it’s in casserole form doesn’t sacrifice flavor. Rather, it only makes things so much easier.

The only thing missing here is the crunchy coating that surrounds the traditional cordon bleu.

But trust me, this casserole is so rich and decadent, you won’t miss the breading.

I love how it has a wide variety of flavors and textures, but they all work so well together to deliver a harmonious appetizer.
