Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 8 slices Low sodium deli ham
- 4 slices Swiss cheese, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour the buttermilk into the flour mixture gradually, stirring until just combined and a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 3-4 times until the dough comes together, then pat into a 1/2-inch thick round.
Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 8 biscuits. Gather the scraps and repeat the process if necessary.
Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the low sodium ham slices and Swiss cheese slices to the skillet. Heat until the cheese is melted.
Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
To assemble the sandwiches, split the biscuits in half horizontally. Spread a little Dijon mustard on the bottom halves.
Layer with fresh spinach leaves, ham, and melted Swiss cheese slices. Sprinkle a little ground black pepper over the cheese.
Place the top halves of the biscuits over the filling to complete the sandwich. Serve warm.
