Ham 'N Cheese Flips
Ham 'N Cheese Flips are savory, cheesy pastries filled with diced ham and onion flakes, perfect for a quick snack or brunch for the whole family.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine dried onion flakes, diced cooked ham, and shredded Cheddar cheese in a small bowl.
- Set aside the mixture.
- Prepare the biscuit dough according to package instructions.
- Cut each biscuit in half and place a spoonful of the ham and cheese mixture inside.
- Seal the biscuits and bake until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, consider adding a bit of mustard or a sprinkle of your favorite herbs to the ham and cheese mixture for extra flavor. If you don’t have Cheddar cheese, any melty cheese like Monterey Jack or Swiss can work well. Ensure the biscuits are sealed tightly to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these Ham 'N Cheese Flips with a side of fresh salad or vegetable sticks for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Danny'S Pea Salad, adding a refreshing crunch. You can also offer some dipping sauces like ranch or barbecue on the side for an extra flavor kick.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Ham 'N Cheese Flips 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. Alternatively, you can use a microwave for quick reheating but the biscuits may lose some crispiness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use raw ham instead of cooked ham?
Using raw ham is not recommended, as it needs to be fully cooked before consumption. Always opt for pre-cooked ham to ensure safety and flavor. If you have leftover ham from a previous meal, that's a perfect choice for this recipe.
What can I do if I don't have biscuits?
If you don’t have biscuits, you can substitute with puff pastry or crescent roll dough, both of which will yield a delicious flaky texture. Just follow the package instructions for handling and baking times, adjusting as necessary.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the Ham 'N Cheese Flips ahead of time. Assemble them and place them on a baking sheet, then cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Allow them to come to room temperature before baking for best results.
