Swiss And Ham Biscuits
Savory Swiss and ham biscuits feature layers of melted Swiss cheese and ham nestled between tender dinner rolls, flavored with mustard, onion, and poppy seeds for a flavorful snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix mustard, poppy seed, butter, and grated onion together to create the filling.
- Slice the package of dinner rolls in half horizontally.
- Spread half of the mixture on the bottom half of the rolls and the other half on the top half.
- Layer ham and Swiss cheese slices on the bottom half of the rolls.
- Replace the top of the rolls over the filling.
- Bake at 325°F until warm and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a flavorful twist, consider adding chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill to the filling. If you're short on time, you can use store-bought rolls instead of making them from scratch. Additionally, feel free to substitute the Swiss cheese with cheddar or provolone for a different taste. To amp up the flavor, you could also add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These Swiss and Ham Biscuits are perfect for gatherings or as a hearty snack. Serve them with a side of pickles or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with a warm bowl of soup, making them a great choice for lunch or dinner. For a sweet finish, consider serving with dessert options like Fruit Cobbler (From A Good Friend, Ruby Griffin).
Storage & Reheating
Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 10 minutes or until warmed through and the cheese has melted. You can also microwave them for a quicker option, but the oven method will help maintain their crispy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make these biscuits ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the filling and assemble the biscuits a day in advance. Just cover them tightly and store them in the refrigerator. Bake them fresh when you're ready to serve for the best taste and texture.
What can I use instead of ham?
For a vegetarian option, you can omit the ham and add sautéed mushrooms or spinach. Alternatively, use sliced turkey or chicken for a different flavor while maintaining a similar texture.
How can I make these biscuits more flavorful?
To enhance the flavor, consider adding spices like garlic powder or smoked paprika to the filling. Additionally, mixing in a bit of grated Parmesan cheese with the Swiss can add a nice depth of flavor, making them even more delicious.
