Poppy Seed Ham Biscuits
Savory ham biscuits with a poppy seed and mustard spread offer a flavorful, buttery treat perfect for breakfast, brunch, or casual gatherings with a hint of spice and crunch.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix butter, poppy seed, grated onion, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce together.
- Spread the mixture on both sides of bread rolls.
- Add slices of ham to the prepared rolls.
- Bake at 325°F for 10 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider using a flavored mustard, like honey mustard, for added sweetness. If you don't have Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce or a splash of vinegar can work as substitutes. For a vegetarian twist, swap the ham for roasted vegetables or a hearty spread like hummus. If you're short on time, pre-made biscuit dough can speed up the process.
Serving Suggestions
These poppy seed ham biscuits make for a delightful brunch option or party appetizer. Serve with a side of Marvelous 'Super' Salad for a complete meal or some pickles for a delicious contrast. They also pair beautifully with your favorite dipping sauces, like a creamy ranch or spicy mustard, to elevate the flavor profile.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the biscuits in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-7 minutes until warmed through. This will help retain their crispiness, making them just as delicious as when they were freshly baked.
