Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (diced) Cooked ham
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Dried thyme
- 8 (baked and warm) Store-bought or homemade biscuits
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until fully melted and bubbling slightly.
Whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
Gradually pour in the milk and chicken broth, whisking constantly to ensure a smooth sauce. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the diced ham, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is heated through, and the flavors meld together.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary.
To serve, split a warm biscuit in half and spoon the creamy ham sauce generously over the top.
Garnish with freshly cracked black pepper or a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
