Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 0.75 cup milk
- 8 slices vegetarian 'ham' slices
- 4 slices cheddar cheese slices
- 0.25 cup vegetarian-friendly mayonnaise
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (218°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Step 3
Add the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Pour in the milk and stir just until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it a few times, then pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.
Step 6
Use a biscuit cutter to cut out 8 biscuits, re-rolling the dough as needed.
Step 7
Place the biscuits onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.
Step 8
While the biscuits are baking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 9
Add the vegetarian 'ham' slices to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until heated through.
Step 10
Once the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Step 11
Split each biscuit and spread a thin layer of vegetarian mayonnaise on the cut sides.
Step 12
Layer a slice of vegetarian 'ham', followed by a slice of cheddar cheese, and a few spinach leaves on the bottom half of each biscuit.
Step 13
Top with the other half of the biscuit to form a sandwich.
Step 14
Optionally, return the assembled sandwiches to the oven for a few minutes to melt the cheese further.
Step 15
Serve warm and enjoy your Vegetarian Ham and Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches.
