Instructions
Step 1: Preparation and Assembly
- Preheat your oven to a moderate temperature of 350°F (175°C).
- Remove the rind from the 1 slice ham and wipe the surface with a damp cloth.
- Place the prepared 1 slice ham into a granite pan or casserole dish.
- Pour in enough milk (or milk and water) to completely cover the 1 slice ham.
- Secure a tight-fitting cover on the pan or casserole.
Step 2: Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until the 1 slice ham is fork-tender and thoroughly cooked.
- If the 1 slice ham is not sufficiently browned at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover and let it bake for a few more minutes until golden brown and fragrant.
💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Store leftover baked ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
