Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt butter and sauté grated onion in the butter.

Tips & Substitutions
For a different flavor, consider using Dijon mustard instead of regular mustard. You can also substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar for a sharper taste. If you prefer a bit of heat, add some sliced jalapeños to the ham. Make sure to toast the rolls lightly before adding the filling for extra crunch.
Serving Suggestions
These ham biscuits make an excellent appetizer for parties or a hearty brunch option. They pair beautifully with Warm Bacon Dressing or Quick Oven Baked Beans for a complete meal. For a fresh touch, serve with a simple green salad or Pennsylvania Dutch Green Beans & Eggs on the side.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ham biscuits in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through, ensuring the cheese melts again for that gooey texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the ham and cheese-filled rolls in advance. Assemble them, cover tightly, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. This is perfect for brunch gatherings or parties, allowing you to spend more time with guests.
What type of rolls work best for these biscuits?
Small, soft rolls like Hawaiian rolls or dinner rolls are ideal for this recipe. They provide a nice balance of flavor and texture. If you prefer a bit of crunch, consider using slider buns or even mini bagels for a unique twist.
Can I freeze the ham biscuits?
Yes, you can freeze the assembled biscuits before baking. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. When ready to enjoy, bake them directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
