Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 0.75 cup Buttermilk
• 8 slices Low sodium deli ham
• 4 slices Swiss cheese, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder.

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Pour the buttermilk into the flour mixture gradually, stirring until just combined and a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 3-4 times until the dough comes together, then pat into a 1/2-inch thick round.

Step 6

Using a 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter, cut out 8 biscuits. Gather the scraps and repeat the process if necessary.

Step 7

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 8

While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the low sodium ham slices and Swiss cheese slices to the skillet. Heat until the cheese is melted.

Step 9

Remove the biscuits from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

Step 10

To assemble the sandwiches, split the biscuits in half horizontally. Spread a little Dijon mustard on the bottom halves.

Step 11

Layer with fresh spinach leaves, ham, and melted Swiss cheese slices. Sprinkle a little ground black pepper over the cheese.

Step 12

Place the top halves of the biscuits over the filling to complete the sandwich. Serve warm.
