Ham Biscuit Delight
A savory ham and cheese biscuit bake featuring flavorful mustard, mayonnaise, and poppy seeds, perfect for casual gatherings or hearty brunches with family and friends.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Leave the rolls together and slice through the middle of all of them horizontally.
- Combine margarine, poppy seed, prepared mustard, mayonnaise, chopped onion, and Worcestershire sauce; spread this mixture on the top and bottom of the rolls.
- Layer shredded ham over the bottom half of the rolls, then add shredded Swiss cheese on top of the ham.
- Place the rolls back in the pan, cover with foil, and heat in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through and cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, try incorporating fresh herbs like dill or chives into the spread mixture. If you're short on time, substitute the chopped ham with deli ham for a quick fix. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. Adjust the amount of poppy seeds based on your preference for texture and flavor, or even try them with other seeds like sesame.
Serving Suggestions
These Ham Biscuit Delights make perfect appetizers for parties and pair beautifully with Cowboy Corn for a delightful spread. Serve them alongside a fresh green salad or some crunchy veggies for a balanced meal. You can also offer a variety of dipping sauces like honey mustard or barbecue sauce for added fun.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, wrap individual sandwiches in foil and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. This method keeps the rolls soft while melting the cheese perfectly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuits ahead of time by assembling them and covering them tightly with foil. They can be refrigerated overnight and baked just before serving. This makes them perfect for gatherings or meal prep, ensuring you have a tasty treat ready to go.
What can I substitute for Swiss cheese?
If you don't have Swiss cheese on hand, you can substitute it with provolone, mozzarella, or even cheddar cheese for a different flavor profile. Each cheese will give the bites a unique twist while still ensuring they melt beautifully.
