Shredded carrots add color and flavor to this downsized ham loaf from Carol Dunne of Middle Village, New York. A buttery glaze and slices of pineapples put the finishing touches on this satisfying entree.

Miniature Ham Loaf Recipe

Prep: 15 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 2 Servings

15 35 50

Ingredients

1 egg
1 small carrot, shredded
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
1/2 pound ground fully cooked ham
1 can (8 ounces) unsweetened sliced pineapple
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Crumble ham over mixture and mix well. Shape into a loaf and place in a greased baking dish. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, drain pineapple, reserving juice; set pineapple aside. In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch and reserved juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in butter and lemon juice.
Brush over ham loaf; top with three pineapple slices. (Save remaining pineapple for another use.) Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 160°. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing. Yield: 2 servings.
