Ham Biscuits Or Party Rolls
Creamy ham and Swiss cheese tucked inside soft dinner rolls, topped with a savory buttery glaze, perfect for entertaining or a comforting appetizer.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Turn the Danish dinner rolls out of the pan and slit them down the middle all at once.
- Add sliced baked ham and Swiss cheese inside the slits, then put the tops back on the rolls.
- Melt the margarine in a saucepan.
- Add poppy seed, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced onion flakes to the melted margarine.
- Pour the mixture over the assembled bread.
- Cover with foil and let stand in the refrigerator overnight.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 20 minutes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider using cheddar cheese instead of Swiss for a sharper flavor. If you're short on time, skip refrigerating overnight and bake immediately after assembling. To make these biscuits even more flavorful, add a sprinkle of garlic powder or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the margarine mixture. These ham biscuits also freeze well; just make sure to wrap them tightly.
Serving Suggestions
These ham biscuits are perfect as an appetizer or a main dish for brunch. Serve them alongside a fresh Spinach Salad With Hot Bacon Dressing for a delightful contrast. They also pair beautifully with a hearty Vegetable Dinner - Cabbage Scramble. For drinks, try serving them with a light white wine or a refreshing iced tea.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. You can also microwave them for about 30 seconds, but the oven will keep the rolls crisp.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat in this recipe?
Absolutely! You can substitute the baked ham with turkey, chicken, or even a vegetarian option like roasted vegetables. Just ensure that any meat you use is cooked and sliced thinly for easy assembly.
How can I make these biscuits spicier?
To add some heat, consider mixing in a teaspoon of hot sauce or using pepper jack cheese instead of Swiss. You can also sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes into the margarine mixture for an extra kick.
Is it necessary to refrigerate overnight?
While refrigerating overnight helps the flavors meld and enhances the overall taste, it's not strictly necessary. If you're in a hurry, you can bake them right after preparing, though letting them sit will yield a more flavorful result.
