Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray, for coating the sheet pan
- Two 16.3-ounce tubes refrigerated biscuit dough, such as Pillsbury
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 8 round slices Black Forest ham (about 4 ounces)
- 8 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a sheet pan with cooking spray.
- Separate the biscuits and put them on the prepared sheet pan. Brush 8 of the biscuits with the heavy cream. Sprinkle all the biscuits with the Cheddar, then the chives. Put each biscuit brushed with cream on top of an unbrushed biscuit to make 8 biscuit stacks. Space the stacks evenly on the sheet pan. Cut out the center of each stack with a 2-inch round cookie cutter. Put the cut-outs in the empty spaces on the sheet pan.
- Push a slice of ham down into each hole to make a cup that is deep enough to hold an egg comfortably. Crack 1 egg into each of the ham cups and sprinkle with the paprika.
- Bake until the biscuits are flaky and golden brown, the egg whites are just set and the yolks are still jiggly when you lightly shake the sheet pan, about 20 minutes.
- Serve each egg-in-a-hole with one of the biscuit cut-outs for dipping.

Reviews
We were not able to cut out a two inch center piece. The whole biscuit was less than two inches even though we bought Pillsbury biscuits like the recipe required. We flattened them but it didn’t help much. A single layer of biscuit – not a stack of two – would be much better and easier to cut a hole out of. It was not ready in 20 mins and took awhile to make. The recipe was just ok.
Super easy and yummy – I’ve made these for my husband and me a hand full of times.
