Instructions

Sautรฉ the Onion:
In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sautรฉ it until tender and golden, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure the onions donโt burn. -
-
Prepare the Mixture:
Once the onions are soft, add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and poppy seeds to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, creating a flavorful spread. Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool. Transfer it to the refrigerator until it thickens and becomes spreadable, about 15 minutes. -
Assemble the Biscuits:
Open up the rolls and separate them into halves. Spread the prepared mustard and onion mixture generously on both sides of each roll. This will give the biscuits their savory flavor. -
Add Ham and Cheese:
On the bottom half of each roll, place a small slice of ham, followed by a slice of Swiss cheese. Top with the other half of the roll to form a sandwich. -
Bake the Biscuits:
Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). Arrange the assembled rolls on a baking sheet and cover them with aluminum foil. Bake for 20 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese has melted. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Once baked, remove the foil and let the biscuits cool for a few minutes before serving. These flavorful Special Ham Biscuits are best served warm but can be prepared ahead of time and reheated before serving.
Tips for Success:
- Make Ahead: These biscuits can be prepared a day ahead. Simply assemble the rolls, refrigerate them, and then heat them in the oven when youโre ready to serve.
- Ham Variations: You can use other types of deli meats if you prefer, such as turkey or roast beef, but ham gives these biscuits a deliciously rich flavor that pairs perfectly with the Swiss cheese.
- Cheese Swap: If youโre not a fan of Swiss cheese, you can substitute with cheddar, provolone, or any cheese that melts well.
These Special Ham Biscuits are the perfect party snack, packed with protein, flavor, and all the qualities needed to become a favorite among your guests. Whether you’re hosting a casual get-together or looking for a quick, easy appetizer for a large gathering, these bite-sized delights are sure to please.
Enjoy your delicious, easy-to-make biscuits!
