Take this Ham and Cheese Biscuit Panini for example: Three ingredients and a waffle iron create a fun dinner that’s sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.

Ham and Cheese Biscuit Panini PLUS other easy dinner ideas with refrigerator dough! | The Weary Chef

It’s back to school time, and that means evenings are busy with homework, after school classes, PTA meetings, and all the other activities that come with kids in school. We have to squeeze dinner in there somewhere, so meals that are ready in under 30 minutes are very welcome for busy families! Not only do we all love quick and easy recipes, it’s also nice to reward kids with a fun meal after a long day.

Ham and Cheese Biscuit Panini

These tasty ham and cheese biscuit sandwiches are perfect any time of day!

  • Total Time: 23 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can Pillsbury Grands! refrigerated biscuits
  • 4 slices American or cheddar cheese
  • 8 slices ham

Instructions

  1. Preheat your waffle iron.
  2. Roll each biscuit to be about 1/4″ thick. When waffle iron is ready, place one biscuit down on iron, top with ham, then cheese, and then place another rolled biscuit on top. Close waffle iron and press the lid down for a few seconds.
  3. I set my waffle iron to the setting to cook uniformly and turned the brownness setting to almost high. Your mileage may vary, so please do what works best with your appliance.
  4. When biscuit is brown and cheese is melted, after 5-8 minutes, carefully remove your cute little panini to a plate and make the next three in the same way. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Melted cheese may ooze out onto your waffle iron while cooking these. If your appliance is difficult to clean, you may want to follow the original skillet instructions instead.
  • The biscuits make these little sandwiches very filling! This recipe was more than enough to feed our family of four.
  • Adapted from Grands! Grilled Cheese Sandwiches by Pillsbury.

Thanks, Claire! I hadn’t tried making anything but waffles in my waffle iron before this, but it works great for sandwiches too! Thank you for having me at your party, and I will see you again on Friday ;)

Hi, Lisa! It’s true that biscuits are good any time of day, but I usually think of them as a breakfast food. I wouldn’t turn one down with any meal ;) Thanks so much for your nice comment!
