You’ll only need 6 ingredients for this Ham and Cheese Pull Apart Biscuits recipe. You’ll need a package of refrigerated biscuits – the kind that comes in the tube. You can usually find it near the dairy section of your store, next to the refrigerated cookie dough.Ā We recommend using the Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers biscuits, but you can use any biscuit you prefer as long as you have about the same amount of ounces that we use.
You’ll also need diced ham. If you have leftover ham from a holiday meal, this is a great way to use your leftover ham into a new meal. The final ingredients are an egg, a bit of milk, shredded cheese and green onions. That’s it!
Ingredients Needed for Ham and Cheese Pull Apart Biscuits:
- Refrigerated Biscuits (16.3oz)
- Diced Ham (1/2 Cup)
- Cheddar Cheese (1 Cup – Shredded)
- Egg (1)
- Milk (2 Tablespoons)
- Green Onions
Cooking Equipment Needed for Ham and Cheese Pull Apart Biscuits:

To make your Ham and Cheese Pull Apart Biscuits recipe, you’ll beat your egg with the milk in a large bowl. Then, cut each biscuit into 8 pieces.

Add the cut biscuits, diced ham, shredded cheese, and sliced green onions to the bowl with the egg and gently stir everything together.

Pour everything into a greased baking dish and bake until it’s done.
If you are serving this as a snack or appetizer, you can enjoy it right from the baking dish or each person can spoon it onto plates. And just the way it’s named, you can “pull apart” the biscuit pieces with your fingers and enjoy.

If you’re serving as a meal, or if you just prefer to not use your fingers, grab a fork. Either way, it’s delicious and sure to please.

As we mentioned, this dish is very versatile, so feel free to make changes to the ingredients. For example, you can use cooked bacon or sausage instead of ham. Or you could use more cheese. More cheese is never a bad thing!

Super easy and amazing! I love this- I might do sausage and gravy on the next batch.
Lynn Dearey says
Can this recipe be made ahead of time and put in the refrigerator overnight before baking in the morning?
Julie says
Used turkey instead of ham. To the egg and milk mixture, I added Dijon mustard, mayo, paprika, salt and pepper. I also finished it with everything but the bagel seasoning on top. Might add a second egg and add chopped up baby spinach for more greens next time. Good overall, but definitely needs a bit more which other comments have said.

Does no one know how to make biscuits from scratch? It’s not that hard. I will try this recipe using biscuits from scratch.
Madison says
This was super easy to make, but it felt like it needed a little more oomph. Not sure what that would be, maybe a sauce or some more melty cheese? Everyone at the party enjoyed it!
Erlene says
