Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 4 slices thinly sliced ham
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted, for brushing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring gently, until a soft, sticky dough forms. Avoid over-mixing.
Lightly flour a clean work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Pat the dough into a 1-inch-thick circle.
Using a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter (or the rim of a glass), cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reroll the scraps as needed to make more biscuits.
Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the eggs. (You can fry the eggs sunny side up, over easy, or scramble them based on your preference.)
Once the biscuits are done, let them cool slightly. Carefully split each biscuit in half.
Layer each biscuit bottom with a slice of ham, some shredded cheddar cheese, and a cooked egg. Place the biscuit top over the fillings.
Brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for added flavor and shine.
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, savory Egg and Ham Biscuits!
