Ingredients

  1. 1/2 pound thick-cut smoked deli ham, rough chopped
  2. 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  3. 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  4. 1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley leaves
  5. 1 1/2 teaspoons spicy brown mustard
  6. 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  7. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  8. 4 pickled okra plus 1 teaspoon brine (see Cook’s Note)
  9. 1 shallot, peeled and quartered
  10. 8 slices white bread
  11. 8 slices pumpernickel bread

Instructions

  1. Add the ham, cream cheese, mayo, parsley, mustard, Worcestershire, pepper, okra brine and shallot to a food processor and pulse until you have a pastelike consistency. (You can make this ahead and store in an airtight container, refrigerated, until ready to serve.)
  2. Spread 1/4 cup deviled ham over a piece of white bread. Top with a slice of pumpernickel bread to form a black-and-white sandwich. Repeat to form 8 sandwiches total. Gently trim the crusts of the sandwiches. Cut each sandwich on the bias to form 2 triangular tea sandwiches. Serve immediately.

Made a double batch today with the leftover smoked ham from Thanksgiving. Few substitutions for what I didn’t have on hand. Capers & brine, didn’t want to run out to the Less Price country store for okra (which I LOVE). 1 t. each dijon, horseradish brown & Mr. C’s hot mustards (no spicy brown in fridge). After processing & tasting, 1/2 fresh lemon squoze of brightness & a pop of tang. Mish Trisha, thank you for sharing your old recipe with us. The only deviled ham I recall from my childhood was the trusty can of paper wrapped product. We loved it & it was an occasional splurge my frugal momma bestowed upon us. This is def a keeper.

Great! I doubled to give my son for his week on site work. Had no okra so substituted large kosher strips but not doubled. I also did not use deli meat, but ham on the bone instead. Excellent!

Did I miss something?  Can’t wait to try this, but didn’t see in the recipe where the okra was added.  Was it chopped and added at the end.  That’s what I would  think.  Love the addition of the brine in the mix.

Love this!! We use Indian relish instead of the okra.

I love the ham salad from my childhood in St Louis…this reminds me of my moms! I used pickle spears instead of okra. Delicious, thanks Trisha!

Really yummy.  Couldn’t find the pickled okra, so substituted bread and butter pickles and 1 tsp. of their juice.
