Warm, buttery biscuits filled with savory ham and two kinds of melted cheese make this Ham and Cheese Pull-Apart Biscuit Ring a wonderful addition to a family brunch or holiday breakfast. Each little piece is golden on the outside, soft and cheesy inside, and perfect for dipping into honey mustard.
It is an easy crowd-pleaser that brings everyone to the table. Refrigerated biscuits, diced ham, sharp cheddar, and Swiss cheese come together in a Bundt pan, then get brushed with a garlicky herb butter before baking.
Why You’ll Love This Biscuit Ring
- Two kinds of melted cheese: Sharp cheddar and Swiss create a gooey, savory filling.
- Easy to assemble: Refrigerated biscuits do the work, and each one is simply filled, folded, and pinched.
- Fun to share: The ring pulls apart into individual cheesy pieces that everyone can grab.
- Seasoned butter on top: Garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and parsley add herby flavor to every bite.
- Ready in 45 minutes: About 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes of baking.
How This Biscuit Ring Comes Together
Each refrigerated biscuit is gently flattened into a small oval and filled with a little diced ham, shredded cheddar, and Swiss cheese. The dough is folded around the filling and the edges are pinched together to keep the cheese inside.
The filled biscuits stand upright around the center tube of a well-greased Bundt pan, forming a ring. A mixture of melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and dried parsley is brushed over the top before baking. After a short rest, the ring is inverted onto a plate and served with honey mustard for dipping.

Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prep the Pan and Fill the Biscuits
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously coat a Bundt pan with cooking spray, making sure to grease the center tube and sides well.
Separate the biscuits and gently flatten each one into a small oval. Place a little diced ham, shredded cheddar, and Swiss cheese in the center of each biscuit.
Fold the dough around the filling and pinch the edges together to help keep the cheese inside.
Step 2: Arrange the Ring and Brush with Seasoned Butter
Arrange the filled biscuits upright in the prepared Bundt pan, forming a ring around the center tube. If you have extra cheese, sprinkle a little between the biscuits for an extra cheesy finish.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and dried parsley. Brush the seasoned butter generously over the biscuit ring.
Step 3: Bake Until Golden
Bake for 25–35 minutes, until the biscuits are golden brown and cooked through in the center. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the remaining baking time.
Step 4: Rest, Invert, and Serve
Let the ring rest for 5–10 minutes. Carefully loosen the edges with a spatula, invert onto a serving plate, and lift off the pan.
Serve warm with honey mustard, yellow mustard, or ranch dressing for dipping.

Leftovers & Storage
Wrap any leftovers or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat pieces in the oven or microwave until warm and the cheese is melted again.
Tips for the Best Biscuit Ring
- Grease the pan well: Coat the center tube and sides generously so the ring releases cleanly.
- Pinch the edges closed: This helps keep the cheese inside the biscuits while they bake.
- Add a little cheese between pieces: A sprinkle between the biscuits makes the ring extra cheesy.
- Watch the top: If it browns too quickly, cover it loosely with foil for the remaining baking time.
- Let it rest before inverting: Give the ring 5–10 minutes, then loosen the edges with a spatula.
Easy Ways to Change It Up
Mustard Choices: Serve with honey mustard, yellow mustard, or ranch dressing for dipping.
Extra Cheesy: Tuck a little extra shredded cheese between the biscuits before baking.
Brunch Spread: Serve the ring alongside fruit and eggs for a casual weekend brunch or holiday breakfast.
