Ham, Comté, & Dijon Biscuits

Ooh la la! These French-inspired biscuits are flaky, cheesy, and packed with salty bits of ham—like a très chic ham and cheese sandwich in biscuit form. Perfect for breakfast sammies or slathered with extra Dijon mustard and eaten on its own.

Active Time: 20 Min

Total Time: 45 Min

Servings: 8 to 12

Ingredients

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup Plochman’s Dijon Mustard
  • 4 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 Tbsp kosher salt
  • 2 Tbsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 stick unsalted butter, cold and cut into ¼-inch-thick pats, plus 1 Tbsp melted butter
  • 4 cups (about 1lb) shredded Comté cheese
  • 3 cups (about ¾ lb) small-diced smoked ham
  • ¼ cup thinly sliced chives

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, and mustard until smooth. 
  2. In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cold butter. Pulse 4 to 5 times until the butter is broken into pebble-sized pieces and incorporated evenly throughout the flour. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a wooden spoon, fold in the cheese, ham, and chives. 
  4. Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Set the dough down, and lightly dust the top of the dough with more flour. Gently knead the dough until no dry flour remains. 
  5. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a ½ inch thick rectangle. Using a 3” round cookie cutter, cut circles out of the dough. Re-roll the remaining dough and repeat this process for a total of 12 biscuits. 
  6. Transfer the biscuits to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush the biscuits with the melted butter. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the biscuits are golden brown and have doubled in height. 
Kick it up a notch: Add diced jalapeño to the dough to add a little heat!
