Deep Dish Ham Pot Pie Recipe (Perfect for Easter Leftovers!)

It's tradition to make a ham to serve on Easter. But what do you do with the leftover ham? There are only so many ham sandwiches you can have.

I found a Southern Living Deep Dish Ham Pot Pie Recipe. It sounds so interesting, I had to share it. Enjoy!

Deep Dish Ham Pot Pie Recipe

Deep Dish Ham Pot Pie

1 (14.1-oz.) pkg. refrigerated piecrusts, at room temperature

¼ cup all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface

1 lb. fresh-cut cauliflower, broccoli, and carrot blend (about 2 cups, from 2 [12-oz.] pkg.)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 medium-size yellow onion, sliced (1 1/2 cups)

1 lb. deli ham, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1 ¼ cups whole milk

3 tablespoons whole-grain Dijon mustard

2 teaspoons dried tarragon

¾ teaspoon black pepper, divided

6 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded (about 1 1/2 cups), divided

1 large egg, lightly beaten

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate with cooking spray; place on a baking sheet.

2. Roll 1 pie crust into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured work surface. Place in a prepared pie plate; place parchment paper over pie crust, and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

3. Bake in a preheated oven until the crust is set and beginning to turn golden, about 12 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack with pie weights in place for 5 minutes; remove parchment and pie weights, and let cool for 10 minutes.

4. While pie crust bakes and cools, separate carrots from broccoli and cauliflower; cut all vegetables into bite-size pieces.

5. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Add onion; cook, stirring often, until onion is softened and slightly brown, about 3 minutes. Add carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add broccoli and cauliflower, and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes.

6. Stir in ham.

7. Sprinkle flour evenly over mixture, and cook, stirring constantly for 1 minute.

8. Stir in milk, mustard, tarragon and 1/2 teaspoon of petter; cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high until mixture begins to boil and thicken, about 2 minutes.

9. Set aside 1/3 cup of the cheese, and add the remaining cheese to the mixture in a skillet, stirring until combined. Remove from heat.

10. Sprinkle reserved cheese evenly over the bottom of the prebaked crust; pour vegetable mixture over the cheese.

11. Roll the second piecrust into a 12-inch round on a lightly floured work surface. Place over vegetable mixture in pie plate; carefully fold edges under, and crimp to seal.

12. Brush lightly with beaten egg. Cut 5 slits in the center of the crust to allow steam to escape; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
    ‌

13. Bake at 450°F until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes; serve.

    Tips
    Bake a better pie: Brush the egg wash over the top layer of the pastry before cutting the slits to help them stay open so steam can escape.
