Ham and Cheese Biscuits are light and tender with little bits of ham and cheese baked right in. They are great for using that last little bit of leftover Easter or Christmas ham.
Another recipe I love for leftover ham is this Easy Ham and Cheese Quiche.
Easy Drop Biscuit Recipe
This Ham and Cheese Biscuit recipe is so easy and mess free to make. They are drop biscuits made with Bisquick and they only take a few minutes to make.
I know some southerners would never consider making biscuits with Bisquick. But I think if you don’t have any self-rising White Lily flour on hand, it is the next best thing.
How To Make
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Biscuits are best when made in a very hot oven. Make sure your oven is fully pre-heated. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Stir together Bisquick, cheese, and ham in a medium bowl. Stir in milk just until combined.
- Bake 10 minutes or until golden brown. Combine melted butter and garlic powder and brush on top.
- Serve warm.
Recipe Tip
The key to making soft, tender biscuits is to not overmix the dough. Only mix until the ingredients just come together.
How To Serve
Ham and Cheese Biscuits make a very popular addition to brunch and they’re even great as a stand alone breakfast. After baking they are brushed with melted butter mixed with garlic powder for added flavor. Slice them in half and add some scrambled egg for and out of this world breakfast sandwich.
The salty bits of ham and a little gooey cheddar cheese really take these biscuits over the top. And if you like sweet and salty foods, try slathering some strawberry jam on one of these Ham and Cheese Biscuits. Heavenly!

What readers are saying
I make these and freeze them individually wrapped in plastic wrap. I can pull one out, unwrap it, wrap it int a paper towel and put it into the microwave for about 30 – 35 seconds. It makes a great quick breakfast or snack. I also usually throw a little parsley into the butter that I brush on top. I usually get 11 or 12 biscuits as opposed to 7 or 8. I don’t measure them. I just scoop them out with a spoon. Super easy and delicious!
