Grab this recipe and stick it aside for when you are looking to use up some of that Easter ham.  Chopped ham and cheese cooked into a corncake and topped with butter and syrup makes a wonderful, hearty breakfast or brunch.

The Bread Bakers are sharing griddle breads today.......

Sneha of Sneha's Recipe invited us to share any type of bread baked on a griddle. I decided to share these tasty, filling corncakes that can be made with your leftover Easter ham.  

 #BreadBakers is a group of bread loving bakers who get together once a month to bake bread with a common ingredient or theme. You can see all our lovely bread by following our Pinterest board right here. Links are also updated after each event on the #BreadBakers home page. We take turns hosting each month and choosing the theme/ingredient. This month the Bread Bakers are making Griddle Breads, a theme chosen by Sneha from Sneha's Recipe.

And don’t forget to check out all the amazing breads baked by our talented bakers. Bread Baker's Event for March 2021-Theme Griddle Breads

Of course, you can make this delicious breakfast anytime you want.  You can use deli ham if you don't have leftover ham, but this is a meal I like to make when I am looking for a way to repurpose those holiday leftovers.

A hearty batter of cornmeal and flour, chock full of chopped ham and cheese, fried to a golden brown on a griddle and served up with fresh butter and hot maple syrup.  Life is Good!!

This recipe makes enough for 4 servings but is easily doubled.  Just place the pancakes into a low oven to stay warm while you cook up the rest.  With the ham and cheese included in the griddle cake this is a complete meal.  I like to serve up some fresh fruit as a side dish for them.

This is a nice change of pace when you are considering what to serve up for breakfast. My family loves them and I think yours will as well.
