About Ham and cheese spread
This creamy spread combines the savory flavors of cured pork and aged cheese into a versatile condiment. The protein content from both the meat and dairy components makes it a satisfying addition to sandwiches, crackers, or vegetable crudités. While it delivers a moderate protein punch at 16.2g per 100g serving, it's also notably high in fat at 18.5g, with most coming from the cheese and processed meat ingredients. The minimal carbohydrate content (2.3g) and absence of fiber make it suitable for low-carb eating patterns, though those monitoring sodium intake should be aware that processed meats and cheeses typically contribute significant salt content.
Common applications include spreading on toast points for quick appetizers, stuffing into celery sticks for retro party snacks, or mixing into scrambled eggs for added richness. Some cooks incorporate it into hot dishes like twice-baked potatoes or pasta sauces where its concentrated flavor can enhance the entire dish. Due to its calorie density at 245 calories per 100g, portion control works well - a tablespoon or two delivers substantial flavor without overwhelming a meal's nutritional balance. The spread's smooth, spreadable texture makes it particularly useful for situations where you want the taste of ham and cheese without the bulk of sliced ingredients.
