Ingredients for Stuffed Biscuits
Biscuits – A roll of refrigerated biscuits is easy to find and perfectly portioned. Sizes range from regular to jumbo and this recipe can accommodate whatever is on hand.
Biscuits freeze beautifully, so why not make a batch or two of homemade biscuits that are ready any time.
Ham – Use deli ham about ¼” thick and dice it. Or, thin slices of packaged deli ham will work. This is a great recipe for using up leftover baked ham or bacon!
Cheese – Shredded cheddar or slices of American cheddar can be cut to fit. Cut one slice into quarters and stack two pieces per biscuit.
Variations
- Grab-and-go breakfast biscuits: Make using scrambled eggs, a slice of American cheese, bacon, ham, or a sausage patty. Prep them in advance, wrap them in plastic, and pop them in the microwave on those uber-busy mornings! For a bigger, heartier breakfast try this tasty classic breakfast sandwich.
- Other combos: Try spinach, bacon, and Swiss cheese, or onions, pepperoni, and mozzarella cheese to make a pizza biscuit.
- Ham or corned beef, sauerkraut, and Swiss cheese for a Reuben styled stuffed biscuit.
- Or why not mini meatballs, mozzarella, and marinara sauce? Try tuna salad and cheddar cheese, or chicken, spinach, and bleu cheese crumbles. And of course there is always breakfast sausage (cut links in half) and gravy.
How to Make Stuffed Biscuits
These biscuits are a filling and savory addition to the breakfast or lunch menu.
- Prep filling: Mix diced ham and cheese in a small bowl (per the recipe below).
- Fill biscuits: Cut biscuit open vertically and add the filling.
- Seal edges: Pinch the edges closed and place each biscuit in a muffin pan.
- Bake: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake.
Make Ahead & Leftovers
Make ahead – These biscuits can be made up to 48 hours ahead of time and baked just before serving. They can also be baked and then reheated in the microwave, oven, or air fryer.
Keep leftover ham and cheese stuffed biscuits in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave.
Freeze cooled leftovers by wrapping them in plastic wrap and placing them in a zippered bag for up to 4 weeks. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.

I only had Grands biscuits. mistake! Just the regular biscuits are the ones to use-Grands are too much dough. I improvised & cut some off each biscuit. I did have to cook them longer, an additional 8 minutes. The results were still yummy! Served them at our card party & wers a success. FYI – I used scissors to split the biscuit dough.
Hello Resort Ladu. I am happy that the recipe with the changes worked out for you. Have a great rest of your day.
Thank you for sharing this yummy and versatile recipe! Over the years I have made many variations of these yummy biscuits. My favorite and easiest is to stuff with String Cheese (Just cut chunks of the cheese to fit) stuff and seal the dough, then brush with garlic butter once they are in the muffin pan. Just about any combo will work with these! Great to take to parties and Pot Lucks!
Sounds delicious Ellen!
Thanks for the recipe, I’m about to make them! I’m only making them for one person so I’ll have leftovers, how would you recommend reheating them?
Hi Nadi, I would line them up on a baking sheet and reheat them in the oven or put them into the microwave or air fryer for a few minutes.
Delish!
It was good for a breakfast in the morning. And it made good snack for me. And I didn’t have ham so I used Turkey instead and it was just as good.
The nutritional information is completely wrong. Calories in a Pillsbury Grands biscuit alone is triple the calorie count for a serving of this recipe. What else can’t be trusted.
Thanks so much for pointing that out! We’re human and make mistakes from time to time. In this case the calculating software was calculating 2 biscuits, not 2 entired tubes. We’ve fixed the error. Enjoy the recipe.
Over dramatic much??!! So rude.
I agree! Ok to point out error but the last line is rude. I think some people have anger issues and can’t control themselves. Feel kind of sorry for people like that!
If you knew the caloric content & still made these – DUH. Sometimes it’s time for something yummy!
JUST MADE THESE FOR LUNCH THEY ARE AMAZING AND EASY AND DELICIOUSE!
Thank you Shannon, I am glad you liked the recipe!
