Ingredients
For the Biscuit Ring
-
Canned Refrigerated Biscuits: 2 cans (16 oz each, pre-cut flaky layers or buttermilk biscuits)
-
Deli Ham: 1 1/2 cups (approx. 8 oz), finely diced (smoked or honey-glazed deli ham works best)
-
Sharp Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
-
Swiss or Gruyère Cheese: 1 cup, shredded
-
Green Onions / Scallions: 3 stalks, thinly sliced
For the Seasoned Butter Glaze
-
Unsalted Butter: 1/2 cup (1 stick), melted
-
Dijon Mustard: 1 tablespoon
-
Garlic Powder: 1 teaspoon
-
Onion Powder: 1/2 teaspoon
-
Dried Dill Weed (or Italian Seasoning): 1/2 teaspoon
-
Worcestershire Sauce: 1/2 teaspoon
-
Everything Bagel Seasoning or Poppy Seeds: 1 tablespoon (for topping)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep Your Station and Pan
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Generously grease a 10-inch Bundt pan or tube pan with non-stick cooking spray or softened butter. Ensure you coat the center column thoroughly so the ring releases effortlessly.
Step 2: Prepare the Biscuits & Filling
-
Pop open the biscuit cans and cut each individual biscuit into quarters (you should have 64 small pieces total).
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced ham, shredded Cheddar cheese, shredded Gruyère, and sliced green onions. Toss lightly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 3: Whisk the Savory Glaze
-
In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, and Worcestershire sauce until completely smooth.
Step 4: Assemble the Ring
-
Add the biscuit pieces into the large bowl with the ham and cheese mixture.
-
Pour about 3/4 of the melted butter mixture over the biscuits.
-
Using rubber spatula or clean hands, gently fold everything together until every dough piece is lightly coated in butter and surrounded by ham and cheese.
-
Transfer the mixture into the prepared Bundt pan, distributing it evenly around the ring. Lightly press the pieces down to ensure there are no large gaps.
-
Drizzle the remaining butter glaze over the top and sprinkle evenly with Everything Bagel seasoning or poppy seeds.
Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection
-
Place the pan on the center rack of your oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.
-
The ring is done when the top is deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the thickest dough section comes out clean (without raw batter).
-
Tip: If the top starts browning too quickly around minute 20, tent a sheet of aluminum foil loosely over the pan to prevent scorching while the interior finishes cooking.
Step 6: Invert, Rest, and Serve
-
Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. This cooling period allows the cheese to set slightly so the ring holds its shape when inverted.
-
Run a thin knife gently around the outer edge and center tube of the pan.
-
Invert a large round serving platter over the top of the Bundt pan. Holding both tight, flip them together upside down. Tap the bottom of the pan gently and lift it off.
-
Serve immediately while warm with honey mustard, marinara, or warm cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
Pro Tips for Success
-
Shred Your Own Cheese: Pre-shredded cheeses are coated in anti-caking agents (like cellulose) that prevent optimal melting. Shredding block Cheddar and Swiss fresh produces a superior pull-apart cheese pull.
-
Pan Selection: If you don’t have a Bundt pan, you can build this ring on a parchment-lined baking sheet by arranging the coated dough pieces in a circular ring shape, leaving a 3-inch hole in the center.
-
Make-Ahead Prep: You can dice the ham, slice the onions, and shred the cheese up to 24 hours in advance. Keep them chilled in an airtight container until assembly.
Storage & Reheating Guidelines
-
Refrigeration: Store leftover biscuit ring pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
-
Freezing: Allow the baked ring to cool completely, wrap individual sections tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil, and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
-
Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer for 5–8 minutes until warmed through and crisp. Microwaving is acceptable for quick heating (20–30 seconds), though the dough will lose its outer crispness.
