Drain the natural juices from the package, and wipe or brush off the layer of gelatin from the skin. While the gelatin is safe to eat, it may not be welcome in your cooking plans.
If you have a meat slicer, you can cut right through the skin layer for thin slices, in the American style, or opt for thicker French slices using a sharp knife. You may also remove the skin with a knife - just cut into the rind and gently separate it from the ham underneath, a section at a time, before slicing the ham.
Bistro ham is the classic ham used for croque monsieur and madame in France and is also one of three ingredients in the famous jambon-beurre sandwich. The other two are unsalted, softened French butter and a thin baguette, which combine to make a much-loved Parisian specialty.
Make a ham and cheese sandwich like the French, with several slices layered with good cheese on a thin baguette with Dijon mustard, which can also be pressed and served hot.
Bistro ham is also easy to cube and use in recipes like quiche Lorraine. We hope you will find many ways to incorporate this ham into your recipes.
Ingredients: ham, water, pork belly skin, sea salt, dextrose, spices, evaporated cane sugar, celery powder
