Ham, Asparagus & Swiss Biscuit Cups

March 10, 2016

I recommend making a few batches of these little guys because they will be gobbled up quickly! Don’t worry, they are easy to make. Use refrigerated biscuits to save on time. The last thing I want to do when I roll out of bed in the morning is prepare an elaborate breakfast. These Ham, Asparagus & Swiss Biscuit Cups fit the bill perfectly.

Biscuit Cups

Breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated. These simple biscuit cups can be whipped up quickly in a matter of minutes. Sometimes, I’m just not in the mood for toast and cereal and want a more substantial meal. Not that these little guys are huge, but they hit the spot when you wake up hungry.

Kids love them, too. You can sneak in some veggies and they might not even notice them. My daughter has an eye for veggies so could probably tell what I was doing. She’d be more apt to try this recipe than say, a plate of asparagus. It’s more fun to eat something that is bite sized, don’t you think?

Feel free to substitute other veggies and meat if ham and asparagus aren’t your thing. It’s like a little mini quiche nestled in a buttery biscuit. Yum!

I have a mild obsession with refrigerated biscuits. I watch for the sales and then buy in bulk. They are so versatile! You can create just about any kind of recipe with them. Let your creative juices flow, I say!

I wouldn’t make this recipe every week because I’m lazy in the mornings, but they are a nice little treat from time to time or when you have company visiting and want to impress them. Everyone always gobbles these biscuit cups up quickly!
