As you can guess from our name, we at Hobe’s Country Ham think that ham makes a great dish for any occasion. In particular, we want to highlight the virtues of ham as a breakfast option, as it has just as much to offer as its more well-known cousin, bacon. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the reasons why we believe old-fashioned country ham steaks are truly the breakfast of champions.
- They has great protein. As you may remember from your biology or health classes, protein is the nutrient that’s most responsible for long-term energy. This means that it’s a good idea to start your day with a serving of protein in order to keep your energy high throughout the day. Old-fashioned country ham steaks offer a hearty portion of this essential nutrient to give you the energy you need.
- They are easy to cook. Another reason that we at Hobe’s Country Ham encourage you to try old-fashioned country ham steak for breakfast is that it’s simple to cook. We understand no one wants to have to fuss with complicated recipes when they’re in a hurry, but old-fashioned country ham steaks don’t require a lot of prep work to get good results. You can simply cook the steaks in a skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, then flip and cook an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through. Some fry old-fashioned country ham steaks in shortening or bacon grease, but you can also add them to an ungreased pan and let them cook in their own drippings.
- They are versatile. The third reason that we at Hobe’s Country Ham believe that old-fashioned country ham steak is the breakfast of champions is that it’s highly versatile. It makes a great addition to an omelet or breakfast biscuit, and you can easily use leftover portions for lunch or dinner.
