  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves, ground
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground

  1. Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Prepare pumpkin-cider sauce. Place the pumpkin puree, apple cider, chicken broth and spices in a bowl and whisk to evenly combine then gently warm in the microwave. Reserve warm.
  3. Slice the whole ham steak into 4 equal pieces, trimming off any fat on the steaks. Pat the steaks dry with a paper towel to help the breading adhere.
  4. Prepare the breading ingredients. Evenly combine the flour, sage and black pepper and place in a shallow dish. Evenly combine the black walnuts and panko breadcrumbs and place in a shallow dish. Dip a ham steak into the seasoned flour shaking off any excess, then into the eggs allowing any excess egg to drip off, then lastly into the black walnut/panko mix lightly pressing the mixture into the ham steak to evenly coat all sides.
  5. Transfer the coated ham steaks onto a baking pan, fitted with a wire rack. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes. The ham steak should have an even golden brown color, crispy/crunchy outside texture and tender/juicy inside. The breading should not be dark in color.
  6. Serve warm with the pumpkin-cider sauce.
