Easy Stuffed Ham Egg and Cheese Biscuits Recipe

Homemade stuffed breakfast biscuits are a weekend favorite at our house.  As you can imagine, you can fill them with a plethora of egg, protein and cheese combinations, but it seems the most simple combos remain the most requested. There is nothing that compares to a homemade biscuit. Quite often I have people contact me saying they've tried to make homemade biscuits with no success asking what could they be doing wrong?  The truth is, there are many variables when it comes to bread making. Factors include quality of ingredients, the amount of moisture in the air and how your oven performs. It takes practice in all sincerity, so don't give up you can master cream biscuits.

How to Make the Best Stuffed Ham Egg and Cheese Biscuits Recipe

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Stuffed Ham Egg and Cheese Biscuits: Self rising flour, heavy cream, large eggs, butter, diced ham, thick sliced cheddar or colby jack cheese, salt and black pepper.
• Kitchen tools you'll need: A skillet, whisk, measuring cups and spoons, medium bowl, biscuit cutter, rolling pin, sharp knife and cutting board, pastry brush and cast iron skillet or similar size oven safe skillet or baking pan.
• How do you make Stuffed Ham Egg and Cheese Biscuits? First, scramble the eggs seasoning them with salt and black pepper to your taste. Next, make the quick biscuit dough and cut it into rounds. Roll the dough rounds into a 6 inch circle then fill the centers with scrambled eggs, diced ham and sliced cheese. Fold the biscuit dough over the filling and place seam side down in a skillet for baking.
• Keep in mind when making these biscuits, that fresh dough is sticky by nature. To prevent sticking, it's  important to flour the rolling pin, the biscuit cutter and the rolling surface lightly to prevent the dough from sticking to surfaces.
• To make these stuffed biscuits, I cut them into 5 inch rounds as that's the largest cookie cutter that I had handy. Then you gently roll each dough round with a floured rolling pin until they're around 6 inches so their bigger for stuffing.
• After filling and sealing the biscuit dough, use your hands to shape them into even sized rounds, and place seam side down in the buttered skillet.
• When you bake biscuits side by side in the skillet in this way, the tops become golden and crispy and the inside stays fluffy and light. Plus, they need to be similar in size for even baking.
• These biscuits reheat nicely, making them perfect for weekend brunches or any day you want to serve breakfast with a surprise hidden inside.
• Store Stuffed Ham Egg and Cheese Biscuits chilled in the refrigerator. Reheat gently in the microwave in single serving portions.
