These Muffin Cup Ham and Cheese Biscuits are a staple at our house. They are stupid easy to make and ready to eat in about 15 minutes! Perfect for a quick breakfast, lunch or dinner. These biscuits are equally delicious baked in a mini muffin pan and served at parties as an appetizer!
The secret ingredient in the biscuits is mayonnaise. Now, I hate mayonnaise. Hate it! I don’t want to look at it much less eat it. I decided to put my mayonnaise phobia aside and give the biscuits a chance. O-M-G! Fantastic!!! The mayonnaise gives the biscuits a cake-like texture and rich flavor. We both love these biscuits! One bite and you will too!
How to Make Ham & Cheese Mayonnaise Biscuits
These biscuits are super easy to make with only a few simple ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly stir in milk and mayonnaise into the dry ingredients. Fold in the chopped ham and shredded cheese. Using an ice cream scoop or large cookie scoop, scoop the biscuit dough into muffin cups. Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown. Brush the hot biscuits with melted butter and enjoy!
Helpful Tips & Frequently Asked Questions
- I use sharp cheddar cheese. You can use any cheese that you enjoy. Swiss cheese, gouda cheese, and provolone all work great.
- I use diced leftover ham. This is a great way to use up leftover holiday ham!
- You can also chop up slices of deli ham.
- Can substitute buttermilk for the milk.
- You can bake the biscuits in a regular muffin pan or a mini muffin pan. For larger biscuits, bake them 15 to 18 minutes. For smaller biscuits, cook for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Can Ham Biscuits be frozen? Yes. Bake the biscuits and cool completely. Place in a freezer bag and freeze for up to three months.
- To reheat, thaw and reheat in the microwave or covered in aluminum foil in the oven, toaster oven, or air fryer until warm.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.

Can you add hash browns to this recipe ,if so how much
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
These are SUPER for breakfast, snacks, appetizers, any time! We love them! I will try using bacon or leftover chicken…the options are endless, really!
Made these with buttermilk and Gruyère cheese in mini muffin pans. They were a hit and definitely a keeper. Great for kids. Thanks for sharing!
Sounds great! Did you still use the mayo? Or did you just sub out the milk?
Is this missing eggs? The 'batter' is mainly flour & powdery….
There are no eggs in this recipe. Biscuits don't have eggs in their dough.
I added milk, I see the recipe has now been changed to show that too
They look super good and as a mayo fan, I know I would like them.
If it were any other kind of flour besides all-purpose she would have specified that.
Do you use plain flour since you are adding baking powder and salt?
I used all-purpose flour
