- Category: Appetizer / Easy Dinner
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 can (5 count) Pillsbury Grands! Big & Flaky Buttermilk Biscuits
- 1 package (approx. 6–8 oz) thinly sliced deli ham
- 5 thick slices Tillamook Swiss Cheese (or your favorite block/sliced Swiss)
- Optional for brushing: 2 tbsp melted butter mixed with a pinch of garlic powder
👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Bake the Biscuits
Preheat your oven according to the directions on the biscuit package (usually 375°F / 190°C). Place the 5 large buttermilk biscuits into a baking pan or an aluminum foil tray. Bake for 13–15 minutes, or until the tops are puffed up and turning a light golden brown.
2. Split and Slice
Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool for just a minute so they are safe to handle. Use a serrated knife to carefully slice each warm biscuit completely in half horizontally, creating a top and bottom bun.
3. Build the Sliders
Leave the bottom halves of the biscuits inside your baking pan. Fold 2 to 3 slices of deli ham onto each biscuit base. Top the ham generously with a thick slice of Swiss cheese. Place the biscuit tops back over the cheese.
4. Melt to Perfection
(Optional) Brush the tops of the biscuits with a tiny bit of melted garlic butter for extra shine and flavor. Return the pan to the oven for another 5–7 minutes, until the ham is warmed through and the Swiss cheese is completely melted and oozing out of the sides.
5. Serve Hot
Remove from the oven and serve immediately while the cheese is warm, stretchy, and gooey!
💡 Chef’s Pro-Tips for Success
- Upgrade the Cheese: Tillamook Swiss Cheese melts incredibly well and gives a rich, nutty flavor. If you prefer a sharper kick, swap it out for sharp white cheddar or provolone.
- Add a Quick Glaze: Want to take these to the next level? Whisk together 2 tbsp melted butter, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, and 1/2 tsp poppy seeds, then brush it over the biscuit tops before the final bake.
- Feeding a Crowd?: This recipe scales up effortlessly. Simply grab a 20-count package of biscuits and double or triple the ham and cheese quantities using a large 9×13 metal baking pan.
