Glazed Ham, Baked Beans, Devil Eggs, Buttered Corn, Mashed Potatoes, Cheddar and Herb Biscuit

📝 Overview

This combination is a hearty, comforting family-style meal built around a sweet and savory glazed ham and served with a selection of classic homestyle sides. The rich, smoky flavor of the ham is complemented by sweet baked beans, creamy mashed potatoes, buttery corn kernels, sharp cheddar herb biscuits, and classic deviled eggs, creating a balanced and satisfying plate with a variety of textures and flavors.

🍖 Glazed Ham

Flavor profile: Sweet, smoky, and slightly caramelized.

Description:
Bone-in or boneless ham is scored and baked slowly, then brushed with a glaze made from brown sugar, honey (or maple syrup), Dijon mustard, and a splash of pineapple or orange juice. The glaze is applied several times during the bake, building up a thick, sticky layer that caramelizes on the surface while the inside stays juicy and tender.

🫘 Baked Beans

Flavor profile: Sweet, smoky, and rich.

Description:
Cooked navy beans (or canned baked beans) are simmered with molasses, brown sugar, tomato sauce, onion, and diced bacon. They bake slowly until thick and flavorful, absorbing the smoky richness of the bacon and sweetness of the molasses-based sauce.

🥚 Deviled Eggs

Flavor profile: Tangy and creamy with a hint of spice.

Description:
Hard-boiled eggs are cut in half and the yolks are mixed with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt, and a pinch of paprika. The creamy filling is piped or spooned back into the centers and often finished with an extra sprinkle of paprika or sliced green onion.

🌽 Buttered Corn

Flavor profile: Sweet and buttery.

Description:
Fresh or frozen corn kernels are steamed or boiled briefly, then tossed with melted butter, salt, and optionally a sprinkle of black pepper or chopped parsley. The simplicity of the dish allows the natural sweetness of the corn to shine.

🥔 Mashed Potatoes

Flavor profile: Smooth, creamy, and buttery.

Description:
Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes are boiled until soft, then mashed with butter, warm milk or cream, salt, and black pepper. Some people also fold in sour cream or cream cheese for extra richness. They are whipped until light and fluffy, creating the perfect creamy texture.

🧀 Cheddar & Herb Biscuits

Flavor profile: Savory, cheesy, and aromatic.

Description:
Flaky biscuit dough is made with flour, baking powder, cold butter, and buttermilk, then mixed with shredded sharp cheddar cheese and chopped herbs (parsley, chives, or rosemary). The biscuits are baked until golden on top and brushed with melted garlic-herb butter immediately out of the oven for even more flavor.
