Mini ham biscuits with a savory butter spread, mustard, poppy seed, and Worcestershire sauce, perfect for parties or quick bites with rich ham and melted Swiss cheese.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together butter, mustard, poppy seed, Worcestershire sauce, and grated onion.
- Open the tiny, day-old party rolls and spread the mixture on both sides of each roll half.
- Place a small piece of ham on each bottom half.
- Add a small piece of Swiss cheese on top of the ham before closing with the top roll half.
- Heat in a 350°F oven until the cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of prepared mustard. If you want a little crunch, finely chopped celery can be a great addition. You can also substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar for a sharper taste. To save time, use pre-sliced ham and rolls. Keep an eye on the oven while baking, as the time may vary based on your oven's heat distribution.
Serving Suggestions
These ham biscuits make for a perfect party appetizer or a delightful brunch item. They pair beautifully with Mom'S Judy Salad for a refreshing contrast. Consider serving with a side of creamy potatoes or a light fruit salad to balance the richness of the ham and cheese. For a fun twist, serve them with different mustards for dipping.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ham biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. You can also use a microwave, but be cautious as this may make the rolls slightly chewy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these ham biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuits by assembling them ahead of time and storing them in the fridge. Just keep the tops off until you're ready to bake them to ensure they don't get soggy. Bake them fresh before serving for the best texture.
What kind of rolls work best for this recipe?
Party rolls such as Hawaiian rolls or slider buns are ideal because they are soft and slightly sweet, complementing the savory ham and cheese. However, you can also use mini baguettes or any small, soft bread that can hold the filling well.
Can I make these biscuits vegetarian?
Absolutely! You can substitute the ham with roasted vegetables or a plant-based deli slice to create a delicious vegetarian version. Pairing with a creamy cheese spread can also enhance the flavor profile while keeping it aligned with vegetarian recipes.
