Ham Cheese Biscuit Sliders

These ham and cheese biscuit sliders are perfect for a quick snack or a casual gathering. They come together easily using simple ingredients and deliver a comforting combination of warm, flaky biscuits with savory ham and melty cheese.

Ingredients

• Refrigerated biscuit dough: Use a quality brand like canned Grands biscuits because they bake up light and flaky
• Sliced ham: Choose a good deli ham or leftover roasted ham for a rich flavor and tender texture
• Sliced or shredded cheese: Cheddar or Swiss work wonderfully; sharper cheddar creates a nice tang
• Butter: Use real butter for brushing on top to help the biscuits brown beautifully and add richness

Step-by-Step Instructions

Prep the biscuits:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a baking dish well so the biscuits do not stick. Place the biscuits in the dish and bake them for about five to seven minutes until they are just barely set but not golden or fully cooked. This step ensures they finish baking nicely once assembled.

Assemble sliders:

Take each partially baked biscuit and carefully slice it in half horizontally. Layer a good portion of ham and a generous amount of cheese inside each biscuit to create a sandwich. Be sure not to overfill or the biscuits will get soggy or spill over while baking.

Add butter topping:

Melt some butter and brush it lovingly over the tops of all the biscuit sandwiches. This step helps the tops turn golden brown and adds a wonderful buttery flavor that is key to the sliders’ appeal.

Bake:

Return the assembled sliders to the oven and bake for ten to fifteen minutes until the biscuits are nicely golden on top and the cheese inside has melted into gooey perfection.

Serve:

Serve the sliders warm so the cheese remains melty and the biscuits are soft yet flaky. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven but still delicious at room temperature.

Storage Tips

Store leftover sliders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. When ready to eat, warm them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about ten minutes to revive the crisp top and melty cheese. To keep them extra fresh, you can also wrap them individually in foil before refrigerating.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you do not have refrigerated biscuit dough you can try homemade biscuit dough or even crescent roll dough but expect a slightly different texture. For the cheese, provolone or mozzarella are nice milder options that melt well. Turkey or chicken slices can replace ham for a lighter version.

Serving Suggestions

These sliders pair wonderfully with a simple green salad or crisp coleslaw to balance their richness. A cup of tomato soup alongside makes for a cozy meal especially on cooler days. They also make great finger food for parties when served alongside pickles and a variety of dipping sauces.
