Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups country ham, diced
- 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
- 0.25 cups green onions, sliced
- 1 can nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and golden.
Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
Stir in the ground black pepper and salt. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.
In the prepared baking dish, spread the diced country ham evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the ham.
Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Scatter the biscuit pieces over the ham and cheese layer.
Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the biscuits, making sure to coat them thoroughly. Top with the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top for a fresh pop of flavor.
Serve the Country Ham and Biscuit Bake warm and enjoy!
