Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup milk
- 8 slices vegetarian 'ham' slices
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 0.25 cup vegetarian-friendly mayonnaise
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Pour in the milk and stir just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out 8 biscuits, re-rolling the dough as needed.
Place the biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the vegetarian 'ham' slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through.
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Split each biscuit and spread a thin layer of vegetarian mayonnaise on the cut sides.
Layer a slice of vegetarian 'ham', followed by a slice of cheddar cheese, and a few spinach leaves on the bottom half of each biscuit.
Top with the other half of the biscuit to form a sandwich.
Optionally, return the assembled sandwiches to the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese further.
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegetarian Ham and Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches.
