Just a handful of ingredients, shredded cheese, ham, and onions, and everyone can have a hearty biscuit before rushing out the door on a busy morning. Best of all, they’re ready in 30 minutes!
Best Biscuits Ever!
These biscuits can be whipped up in 10 minutes, and bake for about 15, so quick! These biscuits are so versatile, swap ham for breakfast sausage or bacon and use any kind of cheese. Brush them with an old bay butter for perfect Cheddar Bay Biscuits. These are similar to a traditional biscuit recipe or even cheddar cheese scones, but the addition of extra liquid means no rolling (and less mess on the counter).
Ingredients/Variations
DRY INGREDIENTS An easy mixture of flour, baking powder and soda is the base of these and it’s great because I always have them on hand. BUTTER Ensure the butter is cold when you cut it in, the little pockets of butter add fluffiness to the biscuits. MILK is added to create a dough with a consistency that doesn’t require rolling. I love buttermilk biscuits and buttermilk will work just fine in this recipe too.
Optional Add-Ins
Homemade drop biscuits are easy to get creative with! Here are some ideas to try.
Crumbled sausage and dried sage Bacon bits and chives Substitute milk for buttermilk to make these into buttermilk biscuits Green chilies or chopped jalapenos and cheddar cheese Chopped spinach and feta cheese Garlic & parmesan are always a good choice! Mexican chorizo and crumbled cotija cheese Dried cherries and chopped toasted walnuts Chocolate chips and toasted pecans or almonds
How to Make Biscuits with Ham and Cheese
Biscuits from scratch are so easy to make, there’s no need to buy pre-made mix!
Storing Leftover Biscuits
Keep leftover biscuits in a zippered bag at room temperature and they should stay fresh for up to 3 days. To freeze individual biscuits, wrap them in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil and pop them in the freezer for a grab and go breakfast or snack! Or freeze several together in a zippered bag labeled with the date and let thaw naturally at room temperature. Or thaw in the microwave about 3 minutes, and serve with melted butter.
