Ham and Cheddar Biscuit Rolls
These Ham and Cheddar Biscuit Rolls are made with homemade biscuit dough, ham, cheddar and topped with a yummy glaze!ย
Here is something a little different for breakfast!! ย Ham and Cheddar Biscuit Rolls. ย These would also be great for brunch, appetizers, snacks or just because you need some comforting carbs. ย ๐
As, I have mentioned many times on this blog my family is big on breakfast. ย Lately, we have been eating cereal for breakfast which is not something I usually do. ย For starters it just doesn’t keep them full for very long and those poor teachers have to listen to them whine and complain about being hungry.
But hey sometimes a mommy has to do what a mommy has to do and cereal was one of them. ย I do still make them breakfast though, cereal has just been there for “those” mornings when I just can’t. ย Anyway when I made them these for breakfast they all thought it was the best breakfast EVER! ย I topped it with a poached egg because they like poached best but fried would be great too.
They gobbled this up quicker than that measly bowl of cereal they’ve been getting lately. ย Tell ya something?! ย I think I need to make these more often for breakfast!
These do require a little more time to make because of the biscuit dough but it’s totally worth it. ย You could also make these ahead of time, cover them with plastic wrap and foil and freeze them. ย Take them out 20 minutes before you want to bake them then pop them in the ovenย and presto breakfast!! ย If you do choose to do this you will need to add on about 5 minutes to the cook time.
These don’t have to be just for breakfast either! ย Serve them at your next brunch or even as a snack. ย They would also make great game day appetizers! ย Maybe stir in a little cayenne pepper with the glaze topping for a little kick, my husband would appreciate that one! ย So whether you choose to make these for breakfast or serve them to a crowd of hungry football fanatics these ham and cheddar biscuit rolls will surely delight!
Ham and Cheddar Biscuit Rolls
Ingredients
- BISCUIT DOUGH:
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup COLD butter cut into small pieces or grated with a grater
- 1 cup + 2-4 tablespoons COLD buttermilk
- FILLING:
- 1/2 pound sliced ham
- 12 slices sharp cheddar
- GLAZE:
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Grease a 9x13 baking pan and set aside.
- In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until you have coarse crumbs. (like the size of a pea) Stir in the buttermilk until almost combined then place on work surface and knead dough about 10 times to finish mixing it all together.
- Lightly sprinkle work surface with flour and roll dough to a 15"x 10" rectangle. Place the ham and cheddar slices over dough. Then with long side facing you roll up tightly and pinch the seam to close. With a sharp knife cut rolls into 2" rounds. Place in prepared baking dish.
- In a small bowl combine the glaze ingredients and brush over the tops of each roll. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 5-10 minutes before removing from pan.
This sounds like a delish way to serve left over ham. I am making this today but surely I am not the first person to wonder what amount is 12 slices of cheese? Pretty vague for a rccipe
A great alternative to toast for those poached eggs. Having the with soup is a great idea too.
The kids sure thought so!! ๐
I think these would be good with soup, also. Will have to try them soon.
That does sound good!
These sound yummy. Aunt Lori
