Description
These deviled ham cups are bursting with flavor, especially considering how small each one is! The ham salad mixed with mayo, pickles, eggs, and hot sauce is so nice I want to put it on sandwiches too! How did ham salad become uncool when it tastes this good? The inspiration for this recipe I have been on a mission to “devil” as many foods as possible. To me this means, take some of the food out, mix it with flavorings, and then put it back in! So far I have done onions, pickles, chicken nuggets, and tater tots. Someone pointed out to me that deviled ham was already a thing, and when I looked into it, it was just ham salad. I wanted to make a version that followed my usual deviled food format. It was as simple as putting the deviled ham into some cups made of ham.
