There I was. The day after Thanksgiving with SO much Hickory Farms ham left!
What’s a girl to do?
Well, this girl had a birthday party to cook for, and I knew just what to do. Whip up some delicious southern breakfast sandwiches with that leftover ham!
I was inspired by my days living in East Nashville and decided to bake some buttermilk cheddar biscuits, some homemade maple peach butter and sandwich the ham right there in the sweet spot in the center.
Perfect for breakfast, lunch or a nighttime party, these little guys disappear fast!
Usually, I have tons of food left over after a party, but not these guys. Every single one was eaten. People were RAAAAAVING! And they’re so easy to make, that I whipped another bunch up the following Monday for a voiceover session. Everyone loved them there at the studio, too!
So go ahead and get that Hickory Farms Spiral Sliced Honey Gold Ham ($85) and then get creative if you have leftovers! I sure am! So much so, that I’ll be featuring another recipe with it next week!
Dawn’s East Nashvilles: Southern Breakfast Sandwiches
Step 1: Bake Those Biscuits
Pa’s Buttermilk Biscuits
Makes approx 16 biscuits
*Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
5 c All-Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp salt
1 Tbsp Baking Powder
8 Tbsp Salted Butter, chilled and cubed
2 c Buttermilk, chilled
1 – 1 1/2 c Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Combine first 3 ingredients in a large bowl. Blend in butter, using a fork or fingers, until mixture gets crumbly. Add buttermilk and stir until soft dough is created. And, y’all, that dough will be sticky! Add in cheddar and make sure it’s well distributed throughout dough.
Drop dough with an ice cream scoop, 1 in apart onto Silpat-lined baking sheets.
Bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until golden.
*Let biscuits cool.
Step 2: Whip Up That Homemade Maple Peach Butter.
Dawn’s Easy Homemade Maple Peach Butter
1/2 c Softened Salted Butter
3 – 4 Tbsp Peach Jam or Preserves (depending on how peachy you like it. I like it SUPER peachy!)
1 tsp Maple Syrup
Mix until well-blended and smooth.
Step 3: Butter those biscuits.
*After biscuits have cooled, cut biscuits in half and slather on the peach butter on each biscuit half.
Step 4: Cut up that ham.
Cut ham into round or square pieces, using kitchen scissors. Sandwich 2-3 small slices of ham in between buttered biscuit halves.
And that’s it, you’ve got East Nashvilles ready for eatin’!
