Instructions

1
Prepare the glaze
- In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice (or water), and black pepper until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Set aside.
2
Heat the skillet
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the butter and let it melt and foam.
3
Fry the ham slices
- Carefully place the ham slices in the hot skillet in a single layer. You may need to do this in two batches.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned and heated through.
4
Glaze and finish
- Pour or brush the glaze over the ham slices in the pan.
- Continue to cook for another 30-60 seconds per side, allowing the glaze to bubble and caramelize. Watch closely to prevent it from burning.

Pro Tips

1Don't overcrowd the pan. Cook the ham in batches if necessary to ensure each slice gets a good sear.
2The sugar in the glaze can burn quickly. Keep the heat at medium and watch it closely once the glaze is added.
3This recipe works best with pre-cooked ham, often sold as 'ham steaks' or sliced from a whole cooked ham.
4For best results, pat the ham slices dry with a paper towel before frying to help them brown better.
5Serve with classic pairings like fried eggs, hash browns, or mashed potatoes and green beans.

Recipe Variations

quick

Quick

For a faster version, skip the glaze entirely. Simply fry the ham slices in butter until golden brown on both sides.

healthy

Healthy

Reduce the butter to 1 tbsp and use a low-sodium ham. Replace the brown sugar with 1 tbsp of maple syrup or omit it.

kid friendly

Kid friendly

Use honey or maple syrup instead of Dijon mustard in the glaze for a sweeter, less tangy flavor that kids often prefer.
