- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal.

Description
These biscuit ham puffs feature a flaky, buttery exterior with a warm, cheesy ham filling inside. They’re crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and make an excellent breakfast, lunch, snack, or appetizer. Best of all, they require only three simple ingredients and minimal preparation.
Tips
- Seal the edges well to prevent the cheese from leaking during baking.
- Dice the ham into small, even pieces for easier filling.
- Avoid overfilling the biscuits so they bake evenly.
- Allow the puffs to cool slightly before eating, as the filling will be very hot.
- Serve with honey mustard, ranch dressing, or marinara sauce for dipping.
Variations
- Swiss Twist: Substitute Swiss cheese for cheddar.
- Spicy Version: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños.
- Breakfast Style: Use diced breakfast ham and pepper jack cheese.
- Herb Flavor: Sprinkle dried parsley or Italian seasoning over the tops before baking.
- Different Cheese: Try mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Colby Jack, or provolone.
Correction
For the best results, use cooked ham, as uncooked ham is not suitable for this recipe. Be sure to pinch the biscuit edges firmly closed so the cheese stays inside while baking. Bake until the biscuits are fully cooked and evenly golden brown before serving.
Enjoy!
Serve these Oven-Baked 3-Ingredient Biscuit Ham Puffs warm from the oven for the best flavor and texture. Pair them with a fresh salad, a bowl of soup, or your favorite dipping sauce for a simple yet satisfying meal. They’re also perfect for lunchboxes, game-day snacks, potlucks, or a grab-and-go breakfast. Enjoy every flaky, cheesy bite!
