Ingredients
- 5-6 lb smoked ham, bone-in or boneless
- ¼ cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp whole-grain mustard
- 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar for a richer glaze
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup breadcrumbs optional, for extra crust, I used gluten-free breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Set your oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a baking dish with foil for easy cleanup.
- If your ham has a thick skin, score it lightly with a knife in a crisscross pattern. This helps the glaze absorb better.
- In a bowl, mix Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, honey, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper. Stir well.
- Brush the mustard-herb mixture evenly over the ham. If using breadcrumbs, press them lightly onto the surface for a crispy finish.
- Place the ham in the oven and cook for 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140°F (60°C) (if using pre-cooked ham).
- Let the ham rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing. This keeps it juicy and flavorful.
Notes
- Opt for a bone-in ham for better flavor and leftovers for soup or sandwiches!
- Pairs well with roasted potatoes, steamed green beans, or a fresh salad.
- Use leftovers for sandwiches, omelets, or a ham and cheese quiche.
