Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup Whole milk
• 4 large Eggs
• 4 slices Sliced ham
• 2 tablespoons Salted butter
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (optional)
• 0 to taste Salt and pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the milk to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently pat it to about 1-inch thickness. Use a 2.5-inch biscuit cutter to cut out biscuits and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 7

While the biscuits bake, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of salted butter.

Step 8

Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook them to your preferred doneness (scrambled or sunny side up works well). Season with salt and pepper.

Step 9

In the same skillet, add the sliced ham and warm it for 1-2 minutes on each side.

Step 10

Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.

Step 11

To assemble, slice each biscuit in half. Place a slice of ham on the bottom half, followed by an egg. Add shredded cheddar cheese if desired, and top with the other half of the biscuit.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Eggs and Ham Biscuits!
