Description

These Ham and Cheese Butter Swim Biscuits are the ultimate savory comfort food, combining tender biscuits with melted butter, ham, and cheddar cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack, they’re rich, flavorful, and easy to make!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk (can increase to 2 cups if batter seems dry)
  • 2 cups small diced ham
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Spray a 9×9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and aluminum-free baking powder.
  3. Add the Buttermilk:
    Gradually pour in the buttermilk and stir until a thick, sticky batter forms. If the batter seems too dry, add a little more buttermilk.
  4. Add Ham and Cheese:
    Gently fold in the diced ham and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.
  5. Melt the Butter:
    In a microwave-safe bowl (or directly in the baking dish if it’s microwave-safe), melt the salted butter in the microwave. Pour the melted butter into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Add the Biscuit Dough:
    Spoon the biscuit dough into the dish, spreading it evenly over the melted butter. Some of the butter will spread over the top of the dough.
  7. Score the Dough:
    Using a knife, cut the dough into 9 squares. This will help with cutting the biscuits once they are baked.
  8. Bake:
    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, rotating the dish once halfway through baking. If the biscuits are browning too quickly, cover them with foil for the remaining time.
  9. Check for Doneness:
    The biscuits should be golden brown on top and spring back to the touch. Insert a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, they are done.
  10. Slice and Serve:
    Let the biscuits cool slightly before slicing them along the scored lines and serving.

Notes

  • For an extra cheesy twist, sprinkle additional shredded cheddar on top of the dough before baking.
  • You can substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for a different flavor.
  • These biscuits are best served warm but can be reheated in the oven or microwave for later enjoyment.
