Notes
- SERVING:
- STORAGE:
- The basic recipe makes about 1 cup of spread.
- SERVING: This Czech-style ham spread is typically served on a slice of white bread roll. For a final touch, garnish with green sprigs of herbs such as parsley, chives, or chopped spring onion.
- STORAGE: Refrigerate the ham spread in an airtight container or a bowl covered with plastic wrap. It will keep for about three days in the fridge.
- The more cream you add, the smoother, whipped, and lighter the spread will become. The exact amount of cream needed also depends on the water content in the ham; drier types of ham will require more cream, and vice versa.
