👩🍳 Instructions
1. Prepare biscuit layers
-
Cut each biscuit into halves or quarters
-
Press half of them evenly into the bottom of the dish

Slightly flatten to cover the base

Half of the ham
-
Half of the cheese

Remaining ham

3. Top with biscuits
Place remaining biscuit pieces over the top, slightly overlapping to form a slab.
4. Mix cream custard
In a bowl, whisk:
-
Heavy cream

Eggs

Pepper
Slowly pour evenly over the casserole — let it seep down into the layers.
