Ham And Broccoli Roll-Ups
Delicious ham and broccoli roll-ups feature tender biscuits filled with cooked broccoli and sliced ham, perfect as an appetizer or light snack with a cheesy side.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Roll 2 pieces of cooked broccoli (spears inside) on a slice of sliced ham.
- Take one biscuit, roll it slightly flat, and place the broccoli and ham roll on the biscuit.
- Fold over all, pinch to seal, and place on a lightly greased shallow baking pan.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until biscuits are done.
- Serve with cheese sauce over the roll-ups.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding a sprinkle of cheese inside the roll-ups before sealing them. You can substitute fresh broccoli for frozen if you prefer, just steam it until tender. If you're short on time, pre-sliced deli ham works well. Pair these roll-ups with a zesty dipping sauce for added flavor, or even try them with a warm cheese sauce as a delightful accompaniment.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Ham and Broccoli Roll-Ups warm, drizzled with cheese sauce for a delicious finish. They pair wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. For a fun twist, consider serving them alongside a bowl of creamy soup, which complements the flavors beautifully.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, place the roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and warm them for about 5-7 minutes until heated through. This will help maintain the biscuit's texture rather than microwaving, which can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the boiled ham with turkey, chicken, or even a vegetarian option like grilled mushrooms or roasted red peppers for a meatless version. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time if you choose a different meat to ensure everything is fully cooked.
What can I use instead of refrigerator biscuits?
If you prefer a homemade option, you can make your own biscuit dough using flour, baking powder, butter, and milk. Alternatively, crescent roll dough can be used for a flakier texture. Just ensure the dough is rolled out thinly enough to wrap around the fillings comfortably.
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the roll-ups in advance and store them unbaked in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just cover them with plastic wrap to keep them fresh. When ready to bake, allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before placing them in the oven to ensure even cooking.
