Things don't always need to be fancy. Sometimes you just shove ham and cheese inside of a biscuit and air fry it. And it's delicious.
That's the viral TikTok recipe from @blind_momofboys that I tested this week for Mashable's AirFryDay. And it was good! Because what could be bad about a ham and cheese biscuit? It's salty, melty goodness tucked inside of buttery carbs. It's a perfect lunch for kids or a delicious midnight snack.
Sure, it's not gourmet, but here's what you need to know to make it.
Ingredients
-
1 tube of biscuits
-
1 package of American cheese slices
-
1 package of deli ham
Directions
-
Pop open your biscuits and choose how many you want to make.
-
Split each biscuit in half.
-
Fold 1 piece of cheese and 1 piece of ham into small squares.
-
Place the ham and cheese inside of the biscuit.
-
Press the edges of the biscuit together to seal it.
-
Air fry at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes, flipping about halfway through.
The details
This is not difficult. It's making a little ham and cheese pocket. Here's how @blind_momofboys' process looked.
Legitimately, the most difficult part for me was opening the biscuit tube. I can never get those damn things open.
Other than that it's remarkably straightforward. The ham and cheese is pre-cooked. The biscuit air fries for just ten minutes. And in the end you have a homemade, hot-pockety bite that's tasty in a way that's almost shameful. Processed cheese and ham inside of a tubed biscuit shouldn't taste this good, and yet it does. The original TikTok has racked up 6 million views, so clearly people like it.
Here's what my result looked like.
If you have kids, hold onto this recipe. You can make it into whatever you like. A bit of pasta sauce and cheese? Boom, it's a pizza pocket. Turkey and cheese? Of course. Just cheese? Sure, it's a grilled cheese biscuit.
Sometimes, you just want tasty stuff, well, stuffed inside of a biscuit. Treat yourself.
