Cheesy Ham Biscuits
Our cheesy ham biscuits recipe featuring flaky buttermilk biscuits loaded with smoked ham and gooey melted cheddar cheese!
Honestly, I’d like to say our cheesy ham biscuits are a Southern classic, but I simply don’t know if that’s true. However, what I can say, is that I grew up Texas and Arkansas and these were commonplace in a lot of restaurants.
In fact, the restaurant that Kim I and worked in, when first met, served something similar. Furthermore, it’s a very popular eatery that specializes in, “Southern,” cooking.
Which leads me to think, ham biscuits are pretty well liked across the South. Now, before I go any further, I want to be transparent.
The biscuits we used in the photographs are homemade. You can click the link, homemade buttermilk biscuits, to see the recipe. 7-Up Biscuits would be fantastic with these ham and cheese biscuits, too!
But, if you look at the recipe card, you’ll see I recommended using canned or store-bought buttermilk biscuits. This was done because we get better reception, from our readers, when we use some processed ingredients in our recipes.
Oh, this recipe is perfect for using a leftover oven baked ham from Easter. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a ham dish with a kick, then check out our ham and cream cheese pinwheels with diced jalapenos!
Ham Biscuits Instructions:
Okay, now that we have all the formalities out of the way. Let’s get these puppies started!
First of all, get your biscuits into the oven. Follow the directions on the package and once they’re in the oven, you can get the ham going.
Grab a large skillet and set it over medium heat. Cook the ham, on both sides, until it browns a little, then remove it from the heat.
By that time, your biscuits should be done. At this point, you should try and get the cheesy ham biscuits built while the bread is still hot.
That way the cheese melts naturally. Split the biscuits open and add about one (1) ounce of ham to each one.
After that, put a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the ham and combine the halves. That’s it, your hand-held breakfast biscuit sandwich is done.
Cheesy Ham Biscuits Tips
So, this tip is for the readers who decide to use our homemade biscuit recipe. When you go to add the buttermilk, add it at a half (1/2) cup at a time.
Humidity and temperature affects the moisture in dough. You may not need the whole amount or you may have to use more buttermilk than expected.
In regards to condiments for this recipe. Personally, I like spicy brown mustard on my ham biscuits.
But you can try ketchup, mayonnaise, or even hot sauce. It’s pretty much comes down to whatever you enjoy.
If you don’t care for ham, then try bacon or corned beef. Both of the these meats have a high enough salt content to compliment the biscuits and cheese mixture.
