Ingredients

Scale
  • 810 thick-cut fully cooked ham slices (about 1/4 inch thick), preferably smoked
  • 3 tablespoons honey (raw or pure)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. If using, place an oven-safe wire rack on top.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and freshly cracked black pepper until smooth and glossy.
  3. Arrange the ham slices in a single layer on the wire rack or directly on the parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring slices do not overlap.
  4. Brush each slice generously with the honey mustard glaze, coating both sides if desired.
  5. Bake the ham slices in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to warm through and let the glaze soak in.
  6. Switch the oven to broil on high and broil the ham slices for 2-4 minutes, watching closely until the glaze bubbles and edges caramelize and crisp without burning.
  7. Remove from oven and let the ham slices rest for 2-3 minutes before serving to allow the glaze to set and flavors to meld.

Notes

Adjust baking and broiling times if ham slices are thinner or thicker than 1/4 inch. Use a wire rack for even crisping or flip slices halfway if using a flat baking sheet. Watch broiling closely to avoid burning. For gluten-free, verify mustard labels. For vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave syrup. Leftover ham slices work well. Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated up to 4 days; reheat gently to preserve crispiness.
