Ham & Cheese Stuffed Biscuits (Air Fryer Recipe)
Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Grand Flaky Biscuits (or similar brand)
- 4-6 slices smoked ham (cut to fit inside the biscuits)
- 4-6 slices Colby Jack cheese (or your preferred cheese, sized for stuffing)
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- Optional seasonings: Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (adjust to taste)
- Optional garnish: 2-3 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing after cooking)
Instructions
- Prepare the Biscuits:
- Open the can of biscuits and separate them. Gently pull each biscuit apart horizontally to create a pocket for stuffing.
- Stuff with Ham and Cheese:
- Place a piece of smoked ham and a slice of cheese inside each biscuit pocket.
- Press the edges of the biscuit dough to seal it completely around the filling.
- Make the Egg Wash:
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with your desired spices (e.g., a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, or paprika). This will help add flavor and a golden crust.
- Coat the Biscuits:
- Use a brush or your fingers to coat both sides of the stuffed biscuits with the egg wash.
- Air Fry:
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for 2-3 minutes.
- Place the stuffed biscuits in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each for air circulation.
- Cook for 10 minutes, then flip each biscuit.
- Continue cooking for another 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Optional Butter Brushing:
- Once done, brush the tops of the biscuits with melted butter for an extra layer of flavor and shine.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the biscuits cool for a couple of minutes before serving to toddlers or family members. They’ll be crisp on the outside and gooey with melted cheese on the inside!
Tips for Success
- Cheese Choices: While Colby Jack is fantastic, cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack are great alternatives for different flavors.
- Ham Variations: Try deli turkey, roast beef, or even cooked bacon if you want to switch it up.
- Toddler-Friendly: Cut the biscuits into smaller portions before cooking to make them easier for little hands to hold.
Quick, easy, and toddler-approved – this recipe is a winner! 🥰
