Celebrating National Teacher’s Month: A Heartfelt Thank You and a Tasty Gift Idea

By Clari @clarisaysblog

Greetings on National Teachers' Month! This is the perfect chance to pay tribute to all the amazing teachers who inspire and mentor us. Although I've had several amazing teachers in my life, Teacher Amy from my elementary school days was the one who had a profound impact on me. She exuded warmth and generosity in everything she did, and we thought of her as a second mother. Despite her untimely departure, her memory inspires me every day.
It reminds me of those happy times and how important teachers are in our life to see my nephew Jaycee brag about his wonderful Teacher Joana. They not only provide knowledge but also provide care and encouragement, lovingly and devotedly molding the next generation. I express my gratitude to all educators for your steadfast dedication and the innumerable lives you influence!
In honor of this month-long show of gratitude, my sister and I made a delectable Cheese Ham Wrap that uses King Sue Pina Ham, which is guaranteed to make the teachers in your life smile!

Here's a simple recipe to create these wonderful wraps:

Cheese Ham Wrap Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 large pita breads
  • 4 slices of King Sue Pina Ham
  • Quick melt cheese (enough for layering)
  • 1 cup mixed veggies (like lettuce, bell peppers, and cucumbers) for the veggie version
  • Butter for frying

Instructions:

  • Prepare the Pita: Lay the large pita breads flat on a clean surface.
  • Layer the Ingredients: For the cheese-only version, place 2 slices of King Sue Pina Ham on one pita and top with a generous amount of quick melt cheese. For the veggie version, add the same amount of ham, followed by the quick melt cheese and a layer of mixed veggies.
  • Fold the Pita: Carefully fold each pita in half to enclose the fillings.
  • Pan-Fry: Heat a pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, place the stuffed pitas in the pan. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted.
  • Serve: Remove from the pan, let cool for a moment, then cut in half and serve warm.

These cheesy ham wraps are quick to make and are sure to delight anyone who enjoys a tasty treat! You can find King Sue Pina Ham on Facebook Shop, Shopee, and Grabmart. Let's spread the love and gratitude for our teachers with this special culinary treat! 🛒
