Ham Cheddar and Chive Biscuits


It's been a while since I shared a savory biscuit recipe so today, I am spilling the tea on how to make these ham cheddar and chive biscuits. I grew eating country ham biscuits as a kid and this recipe is a bit of a twist on one of my childhood favorites. The addition of the fresh chive adds such a depth of flavor to the biscuits. I used a piece smoked ham that I got from the deli section of the grocery store. I asked them to cut me an extra thick piece. I decided to brown my ham a bit to add to more flavor to my biscuits.


This recipe was a 10 out 10. You can make these ahead of time and freeze them for a quick breakfast. You will only need to add an egg in the middle if you want to make a ham, egg and cheese biscuit. To grab Miss Lena's Buttermilk Biscuit mix, head to www.spillingthesweetea.com/shop to order.

1 package of Miss Lena's Buttermilk Biscuit Mix

1 stick of frozen butter, grated

1-2 tablespoons of fresh chives, chopped

1 cup of very cold buttermilk (add more if needed until dough forms)


Directions to Make Ham Cheddar and Chive Biscuits


  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
