Note

For best results, prepare this loaf at least 4 hours in advance to allow the flavors to meld and the loaf to set firmly for clean slicing.

Substitute turkey or chicken for the ham for a lighter variation. You can also add a layer of thinly sliced pickles or onions for extra crunch and tang.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Do not freeze as the bread texture will become soggy upon thawing.

Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
