Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 350 °F (180 °C). Slice the ham into pieces about ½ inch (1 cm) thick — avoid cutting them too thin so the meat stays moist.
- 2
Soften the butter at room temperature or microwave it for 10 seconds. Stir in the seasoning blend and chopped chives until you get a smooth, aromatic herb butter.
- 3
Arrange the ham slices in a baking dish and spread the herb butter generously over each piece.
- 4
Bake for 15 minutes until the butter has melted and turned lightly golden. Serve immediately with white rice, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
💡 Chef's Tip
Roll leftover herb butter into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to one week — it's equally delicious spread on crusty bread or tossed with pasta.
