Low-Carb 3-Ingredient Ham Bombs

ADVERTISEMENT
These little ham bombs are the kind of snack that fueled my brother through college—fast, filling, and unapologetically cheesy. With just deli ham, shredded cheddar, and cream cheese, you’ve got a tray of melty, golden bites ready in minutes. No fuss, no pile of dirty pans—just pure comfort baked in one dish.

Perfect for busy days, late-night study sessions, or whenever you crave something warm and satisfying. Serve them hot with crisp veggies or a simple salad to keep things fresh, or add ranch or spicy mustard at the table if you don’t mind sneaking in a “bonus” fourth ingredient. For heartier appetites, pair with tomato soup or a quick veggie sauté. They reheat beautifully, so a Sunday batch can carry you through the week.
