COUNTRY HAM BISCUITS

GREAT BREAKFAST or lunch item! These biscuits may be considered "a southern thing", but they sure are popular! I have carried a plate full to a home where relatives were gathering for a funeral and they got smacked up real quick. I would carry them plain without the dijon mustard because of people's preferences. Great for a man's lunchbox. Very filling and satisfying flavor!

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (12 ounce) hungry jack flaky buttermilk biscuits (10 piece)
1 (8 ounce) package country ham, sliced
1 1/2 cups water
Dijon mustard (optional)

Steps:

  • Bake biscuits in a 400 degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Cut ham into pieces to fit size of biscuits.
  • Place ham pieces in a skillet and boil in a small amount of water for one minute to allow salt to escape. Pour off water to drain.
  • Split biscuit and insert ham pieces.
  • Dijon mustard may be spread inside of biscuits - optional feature.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a truly Southern experience, use high-quality country ham that has been cured for a long time.
  • If you can't find country ham, you can substitute smoked ham or even regular ham, but the flavor won't be quite as intense.
  • Be sure to grate the cheese for the pimento cheese spread so that it melts smoothly and evenly.
  • If you don't have any scallions, you can substitute chopped green onions or chives.
  • If you want a spicier pimento cheese spread, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
  • Serve the biscuits warm with plenty of pimento cheese spread and a cup of coffee or tea.

Conclusion:

Country ham biscuits and scallion pimento cheese are a classic Southern comfort food that are perfect for any occasion. They're simple to make and always a hit with family and friends.
