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 for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave in single serving portions.

  1. Been cooking most of my life since I was a teenager. I do pretty well on my own. I cook all the meals due to my mother’s cancer and am always looking for new ideas. This sounds like a perfect meal. But for some reason I don’t see all that filling put into one biscuit. You say to fill the and put it seam side down which indicates to me that you are only using one biscuit at a time. What if I used two rounds and sealed the sides around. Would that change the cooking time any? If you have a video of the process I would love to watch and see how it is done. Thank you!

    Easy and delicious! We stuffed some with ham and some with cooked sausage. So wonderful! Melissa is my to for recipes- she hasn’t let me down once!

  3. I havent made these yet but I wanted to commend you on making these with HOMEMADE biscuits! I saw a recipe for Pillsbury biscuit bombs and searched all over to find a homemade version. Kudos to you for showing me the way! I usually double my biscuit recipe & freeze shaped or cut out ones for times when I need breakfast quick. Buying the cans of dough is so unnecessary!
    All the best,
    Lisa

    1. Hi Lisa, I pretty much always bake biscuits from scratch. That said, occasionally I’ll use a convenience item as an ingredient in a recipe. But, biscuits from scratch are the best, in my opinion.
