Choose the Right Biscuits
The base matters.
You can use:
Refrigerated canned biscuits
Fastest and easiest
Homemade biscuit dough
Extra fresh and fluffy
Dinner roll dough
Softer, slider-style texture
Flaky biscuit dough gives that layered, buttery texture like the picture.
Perfect for this recipe.
Prep the Biscuits
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Separate biscuits.
Slice each biscuit horizontally like a burger bun.
Don’t cut completely through — just enough to stuff.
This creates a little pocket.
It helps hold everything together while baking.
Add the Fillings
Now the fun part.
Inside each biscuit:
Add:
- folded ham slice
- cheese slice
Don’t overstuff or cheese will leak too much.
Just enough for gooey melt.
Press gently to close.
Place in baking dish close together.
They should touch slightly.
This helps them bake soft and pull-apart style.
Make the Garlic Butter Topping
This step takes them from good → AMAZING.
Mix:
- melted butter
- garlic powder
- parsley
- everything seasoning
Brush generously over tops.
This creates:
- golden crust
- extra flavor
- crispy top
- bakery look
Don’t skip it. It’s magic.
Bake Until Golden and Melty
Bake 15–20 minutes until:
- tops golden brown
- cheese melted
- biscuits fluffy inside
If you want extra browning, broil 1–2 minutes.
Watch closely.
The cheese pull at this stage? Insane 🤤
Let Them Rest Slightly
Wait 2–3 minutes before serving.
Cheese will set slightly.
If you grab immediately, everything slides out.
(But honestly… it’s hard to wait 😄)
