Ham and Cheese Spread

This savoury ham and cheese spread makes a sophisticated addition to any lunch table or party platter. By combining high-quality smoked ham with the nutty notes of shredded Gruyère, this recipe creates a rich, textured topping that is far superior to shop-bought versions. The addition of tangy cornichons and whole-grain mustard provides a bright acidity that perfectly balances the creamy butter base, ensuring every bite is full of flavour.

While this dish sits within the dairy category, it offers a hearty and comforting choice for a weekend brunch or as a quick homemade starter. It is best enjoyed spread thickly over toasted sourdough or served alongside crisp crackers and a fresh green salad. You can prepare this versatile spread up to two days in advance, making it an excellent time-saver for busy hosts.
