Biscuit Dough

1. 1

   Use biscuit can or buttermilk biscuit .
2. 2

   Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a deep casserole dish with nonstick spray or rub with oil or butter.
3. 3

   In a medium bowl , add flour , salt , sugar , and baking powder + baking powder . Whisk together.
4. 4

   Add butter . Use a pastry cutter or butter knife to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Keep cutting the butter until the mixture has mostly come together, with some butter pieces up to the size of a pea.
5. 5

   Add buttermilk . Use a spatula to stir the liquid into the flour mixture until a shaggy dough has formed. Flour your hands and knead the dough in the bowl 3-5 times until the mixture has formed a ball.
6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough out to about a 10x12 inch rectangle. Sprinkle with flour as necessary. It doesn't need to be perfect.
7. 7

   Fold the short ends of the dough in by thirds, like you're folding a business letter. Flip the dough over so that the seam side is down, and pat it flat with your hands, or roll the rolling pin over it a couple times to seal the dough together.
8. 8

   Use a serrated knife, scissors, or a pizza cutter to slice the dough into 1 inch strips. Cut each strip into 3 squares. Each square of dough should be about 1x1 or 1x2 inches. It doesn't have to be perfect!

Egg Mixture

1. 1

   Meanwhile, prepare the egg mixture. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat together eggs , cream , seasoned salt , salt , black pepper , dry mustard powder , and onion powder .
2. 2

   To assemble: sprinkle half of the smoked ham over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Spread all of the biscuit squares over the top of the ham. Spread the remaining smoked ham over the top of the biscuits.
3. 3

   Top with cheese . You can use pretty much any kind of cheese you like, I'm partial to cheddar.
4. 4

   Pour the egg mixture over the top of the casserole, making sure everything gets wet.
5. 5

   You may cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
6. 6

   Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes . The casserole is done when the top is golden and the center of the pan doesn't wobble much or look liquidy when you shake the pan.
7. 7

   Remove from the oven and serve immediately! Garnish with ?parsley and ?green onions , and/or hollandaise sauce if desired. The hollandaise sauce is optional, I think it's delicious served with or without!
