Ham and Cheese Stuffed Biscuits
Description
This recipe starts by flattening individual biscuit dough pieces and placing diced ham and cheese cubes inside. The dough edges are sealed tightly to encase the filling, forming a round shape. The biscuit balls are placed on a baking sheet spaced apart. A butter brush and sesame seed topping add a toasty finish during baking at 375°F until golden.
The cheese melts inside while the biscuit becomes crisp on the outside, creating a contrast of textures. The toasted sesame seeds add a nutty aroma and crunch to the buttery biscuit crust. Honey mustard dressing is recommended for dipping, complementing the savory and mildly smoky flavors of ham and Monterey Jack cheese.
These biscuits store well in the refrigerator and can be reheated in a microwave or oven. Cheese leakage during baking may occur if seams are not tightly sealed, which creates crispy cheese edges that add flavor. Optional toppings like everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds can be substituted for sesame seeds.
Ingredients
- 24 ounces Biscuits 10 biscuits per can, refrigerated
- 4 ounces ham diced, cooked
- 5 ounces Monterey jack cheese cut into 20 small cubes
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds toasted
- honey mustard dressing for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
- Open up the biscuits. Working one at a time, flatten each biscuit with your hands into dough rounds about 3 inches in diameter.
- Place 1 tablespoon diced ham in the middle of the flattened biscuit, then top with a cube of cheese. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
- Bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and over the cheese and ham forming a ball. Pinch the seams to seal. Place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Leave about 1-inch space between each biscuit on the pan.
- Brush the tops of the biscuit balls with butter and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes until golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.
- Serve warm with honey mustard. Or you can cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (reheating directions below)
Notes
- Seal biscuit seams tightly to minimize cheese leakage; any escaped cheese will crisp up delightfully on baking.
- Toast sesame seeds by stirring in a skillet over medium heat until lightly browned with a nutty aroma before sprinkling.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container; biscuits reheat well in microwave or oven covered with foil at 350°F for about 10 minutes.
- Try toppings such as Everything bagel seasoning or poppy seeds instead of sesame seeds for variation.
