Instructions
- 1
Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan and insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part, then roast at 325°F until the internal temperature reaches 150°F, about 1 hour and 45 minutes.
- 2
Remove the ham, raise the oven to 425°F, and let the meat rest for 10 minutes while you trim away any thick rind, leaving a thin even layer of fat.
- 3
Score the fat in a shallow diamond pattern and press a clove into the center of each diamond for both flavor and a classic look.
- 4
Whisk the mustard, egg yolk, and sugar into a smooth paste, brush it generously over the scored fat, then pat the breadcrumbs firmly onto the surface to form an even coating.
- 5
Return the ham to the hot oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the crust is set, golden, and bubbling, watching closely so the breadcrumbs do not burn.
- 6
Rest the ham for 15 minutes before carving into thin slices and serving warm or chilled with mustard on the side.
