Ingredients
Instructions
- Wrap cubes of ham and cheddar cheese in biscuits.
- Toast the wrapped biscuits on a grill until golden brown.
- Serve hot with pickle relish on the side.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using different types of cheese like pepper jack or mozzarella for varied flavors. You can also substitute the canned ham with cooked bacon or leftover roasted ham for a smoky taste. If you prefer a healthier option, consider using whole wheat biscuits or adding some finely chopped vegetables inside for extra nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these doughboys hot as a delicious appetizer or snack. They pair wonderfully with a side of pickle relish and are great for game day. For a complete meal, consider serving them alongside a fresh salad, like Cauliflower Lettuce Salad, or some New Potatoes to round out the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover doughboys in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through and crispy. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the biscuits soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make doughboys ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the doughboys in advance by wrapping the ham and cheese in the biscuits and refrigerating them until ready to cook. Just make sure to grill them fresh for the best texture and flavor.
What can I use instead of canned biscuits?
If you want a homemade option, you can make your own biscuit dough from scratch. Alternatively, puff pastry or crescent roll dough also works well and gives a flaky texture that complements the filling.
Can I freeze doughboys?
Yes, you can freeze unbaked doughboys. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer bag. When ready to cook, bake them directly from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
