When you have a taste for ham and don't want to purchase a large piece (you can even buy small packages of chopped ham) or if you have leftovers this recipe is perfect. Substitute broccoli for asparagus (using veggies in season) and light cream cheese for flavored. Cheddar or Swiss cheese will substitute for Parmesan.
