Country Ham And Cheddar Biscuit Swiches Recipes

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.

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. Pour into jars, let cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• For the biscuits: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and snap and rub it in until the butter is pea sized. Stir in the Cheddar and chives, then make a well in the center and add in 1 1/4 cups of the buttermilk. Stir until just combined.
• Using a large tablespoon or a 1/4 cup ice cream scoop, scoop 9 biscuits onto your prepared baking sheet. Place the biscuits in the fridge while you prepare the eggs.
• For the eggs: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the sausage meat. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
• Lightly grease a 9-inch square baking pan with cooking spray. Beat the eggs and milk together in a large bowl. Season with the salt and pepper. Add the Cheddar and dill and pour into the prepared pan. Scatter over the cooked sausage and tomatoes.
• Retrieve the biscuits from the fridge and brush with the remaining 2 tablespoons of buttermilk. Bake the biscuits and the eggs for 15 minutes, then remove the eggs from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Rotate the biscuits and continue baking until golden brown, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Cut the eggs into 9 equal pieces. If serving right away, split the biscuits in half and sandwich in the eggs. If prepping ahead, transfer the eggs to a resealable container and place in the fridge. Cool the biscuits to room temperature and transfer to a resealable container or zip top bag and place in the fridge. Both can be stored for up to four days. To reheat, simply reheat in the microwave. Biscuits can also be split and lightly toasted in the toaster.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Make the Biscuits: Using a sieve over a bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Repeat. Add the butter and shortening and, using your fingertips, mix until crumbly. Add the buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon until the dough just comes together. (Don't over mix!)
• Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out to 1/2 to 3/4-inch thick rectangle. Using a 3 to 4-inch round cutter, punch out biscuits and transfer them to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Gently press the dough scraps into another rectangle and punch out more biscuits. Discard any scraps. Lightly dust the tops of the biscuits with flour and bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Let the biscuits cool slightly. (You'll only need 6 biscuits for the sandwiches, so serve the rest with soup, spread with butter and jam, or just freeze for another day.)
• Make the Sandwiches: Preheat the broiler. Split 6 of the biscuits in half and spread the top halves with 1 tablespoon of Tomato Jam each.
• Divide the ham among the bottom halves of the biscuits and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
• Arrange the bottom halves a baking sheet and place under a broiler until the cheese melts. Cover with the biscuit tops and serve immediately.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, rosemary and pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until soft and fragrant. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have given up most their water and turned a deep orange-red, about 15 to 20 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.

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.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the biscuit mix and milk just until moistened. Stir in the cheese and ham. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. , Bake at 450° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.
