Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix margarine, mustard, poppy seed, chopped onion, and Worcestershire sauce in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Slice the entire package of Parker House rolls and set the top halves aside.
- Spread the sauce over the bottom halves of the rolls.
- Place sliced deli ham or beef on top of the sauce.

- Replace the top halves of the rolls.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using flavored mustard or adding a dash of hot sauce to the butter mixture. If you don't have poppy seeds, sesame seeds or even finely chopped herbs can work well as substitutes. You can also customize the protein; turkey or roasted vegetables make great alternatives to ham or beef. For a vegetarian version, consider pairing it with the Mushroom, Peas And Asparagus Casserole.
Serving Suggestions
These ham biscuits are perfect for a brunch or game day spread. Serve them with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Grandma'S Frozen Fruit Salad for a refreshing contrast. For a more robust meal, consider adding a side of chips or a vegetable platter.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the biscuits on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave them, but the oven will keep the biscuits crispier.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prepare these biscuits in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the biscuits ahead of time. Assemble the rolls, cover them tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. For longer storage, you can freeze the assembled rolls. Just remember to bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
What type of cheese works best for this recipe?
While mozzarella is delicious, you can experiment with other cheeses such as cheddar, gouda, or provolone for different flavor profiles. Each cheese will bring its own unique taste to the dish. Combining mozzarella with a sharper cheese can also elevate the overall flavor.
Can I make these biscuits vegetarian?
Absolutely! Simply omit the deli ham or beef and replace it with your choice of roasted vegetables or a hearty spread like hummus. You can also incorporate sautéed mushrooms or spinach to add more depth and flavor, making it a delightful option for vegetarian recipes.
