Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 2 cups country ham, diced
• 1.5 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
• 8 ounces refrigerated biscuit dough
• 0.25 cups green onions, sliced
• 1 can nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and golden.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.

Step 4

Stir in the ground black pepper and salt. Remove the sauce from the heat and set aside.

Step 5

In the prepared baking dish, spread the diced country ham evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the ham.

Step 6

Open the biscuit dough and cut each biscuit into quarters. Scatter the biscuit pieces over the ham and cheese layer.

Step 7

Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the biscuits, making sure to coat them thoroughly. Top with the remaining 0.5 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through, and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the bake from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top for a fresh pop of flavor.

Step 10

Serve the Country Ham and Biscuit Bake warm and enjoy!
