Ham with Creamy Herb Sauce

Step 1

Read the heating instructions on the ham steak or spiral ham that you have chosen for the recipe. If you're using a whole or half ham, they typically require reheating in a 325 F oven to an internal temperature of 165 F. It usually takes 18 to 20 minutes per pound. If you're browning a ham steak, that usually takes only 10 to 15 minutes.While the ham is being prepared, make the herb sauce.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced shallots and cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until softened, taking care not to allow it to brown.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute.

Step 5

Reduce the heat a bit and whisk in the broth and milk. Continue to whisk until the sauce starts to bubble. Stir in the parsley (or herb of your choice), lemon juice, mustard, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Let the sauce simmer gently, stirring frequently, for about 20 minutes.

Step 7

Serve the sauce over the warmed ham.
