HAM AND CHEESE LOAF

Steps:

• Place the log, seam-side down, in the prepared loaf pan and bake until golden brown and cooked through and the internal temperature is 200 degrees, for 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Slice and serve.

Then fold in the ham, 3/4 cup shredded cheese, the diced cheese and scallions.
• Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese. Bake until well risen, golden brown and a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes.
• Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon each honey and milk and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard until smooth.

Seal edges, making tight 1/2-inch fold; fold again, allowing space for heat circulation and expansion.
