Notes
Homemade biscuits can take the place of biscuits from cans.
You may substitute leftover taco meat, cooked sausage, or bacon for the ham.
You can stuff these biscuits with nearly anything, including additional cheeses of your choosing.
Allowing the biscuits to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes is crucial because it prevents the cheese from oozing out. To remove the biscuits from the pan, carefully run a knife down the sides of the biscuits.
Extra ham and cheese-filled biscuits can be stored for up to three days in the fridge in an airtight container.
For up to 4 weeks, you can freeze leftover biscuits that have cooled and been wrapped in plastic wrap. Before reheating, thaw in the refrigerator.
