Country Ham And Cheddar Biscuit Swiches Food

HAM-CHEDDAR BISCUIT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dust your work surface with flour and roll the biscuit dough out 1/4-inch thick or slightly thicker. Cut out 5-inch rounds with a cutter. Reroll the scraps and cut again.
• Spread a tablespoon of mustard over half of the top of each round. Fold the ham slices, put them on top of the mustard, leaving a 1/4-inch border, and then mound a scant 1/2 cup of the Cheddar on top. Fold the dough over to make a half-moon and press with a fork to seal. As you go, transfer each finished biscuit to the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the tops of the biscuits with cream and top with a sprinkling of black pepper. Bake until golden brown and baked through, about 15 minutes. Cool briefly and serve hot.
• Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter using your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Add the buttermilk and mix gently until the mixture just begins to come together.

COUNTRY HAM BISCUITS AND SCALLION-PIMENTO CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a 10-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to heat.
• For the scallion-pimento cheese: Stir together the cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise and scallions in a large bowl. Set aside, or if making ahead, place in the fridge until ready to use.
• For the country ham biscuits: Mix the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Using a pastry blender or 2 table knives, cut the cold butter cubes into the flour until it resembles coarse meal. Use a fork to stir in the buttermilk to make a soft dough that comes together and leaves the sides of the bowl (make sure all the flour is worked in). Stir in the ham. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead 3 or 4 times until smooth and manageable.
• With your hands or a floured rolling pin, flatten the dough to a thickness of 1/2 inch. Cut the dough out with a 2-inch floured biscuit cutter.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in it. Place the biscuits in the skillet. Bake until lightly browned, 10 to 12 minutes.
• To serve: Split the biscuits and serve with a generous spread of pimento cheese.

LAYERED HAM AND CHEESE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter remaining. Add the buttermilk and pulse a few times, until the dough just comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface that's lightly dusted with flour, then pat into a 7-by-7-inch square that's about 1 inch thick. Scatter half of the ham and 1/4 cup of the Cheddar on half of the dough, then fold the other half of dough over like a book; gently pinch the edges to seal. Pat the dough out again into a 7-by-7-inch square, scatter the remaining ham and 1/4 cup of cheese on top and fold the dough over like a book. Press once more into a 7-by-7-inch square.
• Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the dough into 12 even rectangular pieces. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops of each piece with additional buttermilk. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and well browned, 18 to 20 minutes.

COUNTRY HAM ON BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Make buttermilk biscuits: mix flours, baking powder and soda, salt, and pepper in mixing bowl. Cut 6 T. butter into small pieces and add to flour mixture. Cut in butter with pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles fine meal. Melt remaining 4 T. butter and set aside. Make well in flour mixture, pour in buttermilk, and gradually work flour into buttermilk using fork.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface. Roll or pat evenly 1/2-inch thick. Using 2-1/2" biscuit cutter or rim of glass, cut out 12 biscuits. Brush both sides with melted butter and place on ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake until golden, 10-12 minutes. Let cool on baking sheet at least 5 minutes before splitting.
• Split warm biscuits in half. Spread bottom half with mustard and top with butter. Place 2 slices ham on each bottom half and cover with top. Serve warm.

APPLE, HAM AND CHEDDAR BISCUIT CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Saute until the apples are tender and start to stick when you scoot them around the pan, about 5 minutes. The butter and sugar will caramelize and become slightly sticky. Add the ham and rosemary. Saute until the ham gets some nice sear marks here and there, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out the biscuits until 3 1/2 inches wide and gently press them into 10 cups of a muffin tin. Spoon the filing evenly into each cup, then top each with the Cheddar. Bake until the cheese is melted and starting to lightly brown and bubble, about 15 minutes.
• Pop each biscuit out of the tin and transfer to a platter or cutting board. Garnish with rosemary and serve immediately.

HAM AND SHARP CHEDDAR BISCUITS

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add butter and mix with your fingers until mealy in texture. Add the onions, buttermilk, ham and cheese, stirring in with a spatula until just incorporated, but it still should be a bit loose.
• Scoop out the batter with a large spoon to form 12 biscuits and lightly shape them with floured hands.
• Arrange close together on the baking sheet for soft biscuits, or spread them apart for crisper biscuits.
• Brush with hot melted butter.
• Bake 5 minutes then reduce temperature to 450F and bake a further 15 minutes or until deep golden brown.

CHEDDAR BISCUITS WITH COUNTRY HAM

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, pepper, and salt. Add the buttermilk and butter and mix just until incorporated. Don't overmix. Add 2 cups of the Cheddar (leave the rest of the cheese out to come to room temperature) and the green onions and quickly mix to combine. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
• When you are ready to bake, spray 2 baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray. Tear off pieces of dough and roll into balls about the size of a golf ball. Arrange them on the baking sheets, brush them with a little buttermilk, and bake them until golden brown, about 10 to 14 minutes.
• In a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, whip the remaining room temperature cheese until it is smooth.
• Slice each biscuit in half and spread a teaspoon of whipped Cheddar onto the bottom. Cut a piece of ham to fit and put it on top of the Cheddar. Dollop with 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Jelly and cover with the top of the biscuit. Repeat with remaining ingredients and arrange on serving platters to serve.
• Red Pepper Jelly:
• Add the peppers in the bowl of a food processor and process until they are coarsely chopped but not pureed. Transfer the peppers to a large pot and add the cider vinegar, sugar, salt, crushed red pepper flakes, and jalapeno. Mix well.
• Put the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Add the pectin and continue to cook at a slow rolling boil, stirring frequently, until the jelly drips very slowly from a metal spoon, about 20 minutes.
