Aline'S Ham Biscuits With Swiss Cheese
Delicious ham biscuits topped with Swiss cheese and a flavorful mustard and onion spread, perfect for brunch, snacks, or casual gatherings with savory and tangy notes.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, grated onion, and poppy seeds to create the spread.
- Spread a thin layer of the mixture on each ham biscuit.
- Top with a slice of Swiss cheese and a slice of ham.
- Heat through until warm and cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or chives to the spread. If you don't have Swiss cheese, Gruyère or provolone are excellent substitutes that maintain the dish's creamy texture. When spreading, ensure an even layer to avoid soggy biscuits. These biscuits can also be made with leftover ham for a quick meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these ham biscuits warm as a delightful appetizer or snack at gatherings. They pair beautifully with a side of pickles or a light salad for a complete meal. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a batch of White Star Cookies for dessert, creating a satisfying balance between savory and sweet.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ham biscuits in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese has melted. Avoid microwaving as it can make the biscuits soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the spread and assemble the biscuits a few hours in advance. Cover them with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator. Just heat them in the oven when you're ready to serve for the best texture and flavor.
What type of ham works best for this recipe?
Thinly sliced deli ham works perfectly for these biscuits, but you can also use leftover holiday ham or honey-baked ham for a sweeter flavor. Just ensure the slices are thin enough to melt well with the cheese.
Can I make these biscuits vegetarian?
Yes, to create a vegetarian version, simply omit the ham and add sliced tomatoes or roasted vegetables. You can also try using a hearty mushroom or a plant-based deli slice for added flavor and texture.
