Do you have those meals or Classic Southern dishes that just instantly bring you back to your childhood? Like you can taste the memories and time is frozen in that food. My mom's Cast iron skillet buttermilk biscuits, sweet potato biscuits with country ham, or Jalapeño cheddar drop biscuits are one of those - I can literally taste them while thinking about you cutting out the tender dough and placing them into the skillet.
These ham and Swiss biscuits sandwiches are another one of those recipes. This Sandwich made with canned biscuits was a friend of my mom's growing up. She and my mom would make these all the time. I LOVED them! They are simple to make and perfect to serve as an appetizer at a party or for a quick lunch.
You will just need 7 ingredients, one bowl, and 30 minutes for this canned biscuit recipe. Shaved ham, melted butter, and horseradish mustard are the secret ingredients. Let me show you step-by-step how to make them!
Welcome to my kitchen!
First start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees.
Tip on the ham - asking the butcher to shave the ham for you is important for the texture of the filling. If you do not have a food processor to run it through a couple of times, just use a knife and finally chop it to achieve the same texture.
These biscuit sandwiches are so easy and perfect to serve at any wedding or bridal shower, tailgate or Superbowl, for lunch, or just anytime you need an appetizer for a party - which around here is all the time. I know you, your friends, and your family will love them!
