ham spread
This recipe comes from the McCall's Cooking School cookbook. It is originally called Ham Pate en Croute. I changed the recipe a bit, so I'll post it as it is in the cookbook and make my alterations in parenthesis. I have made this for many, many parties. It is always a huge hit.

How To Make ham spread
-
Step 1Beat butter (or cream cheese) until light and fluffy. ***I found the butter to be way too greasy, so I tried cream cheese and everyone loves it. -
Step 2Gradually add ham mixing well until thoroughly combined.
-
Step 3Add all other ingredients and mix well. Cover and refrigerate.
-
Step 4Cut off ends of french bread and using a bread knife, carefully hollow out the loaf. Stand the bread on end and carefully stuff with the ham filling.
-
Step 5Refrigerate until firm. Remove and cut into slices.
-
Step 6***I do not fill the bread with the ham spread. I found it fairly difficult to do, and the bread got a bit soggy. Rather, I serve the ham spread with the sliced bread and crackers.
