In a bowl, combine:
-
Shredded roast beef
-
Worcestershire sauce
-
Beef broth or au jus
-
Garlic powder
-
Onion powder
-
Salt
-
Pepper
Mix everything thoroughly so the flavors coat every strand of beef.
Tip:
If your roast beef is refrigerated, warm it slightly in the microwave (20–30 seconds) to make it easier to spread on biscuits.
3. Prepare the Biscuits
Separate the biscuit dough.
For each melt, you will create two biscuit rounds:
-
Bottom biscuit – flatten slightly with your hand or a rolling pin.
-
Top biscuit – flatten only a little; this helps achieve the puffy, browned look.
Place the bottom biscuits on your lined tray.
4. Assemble the Biscuit Melts
On each flattened bottom biscuit:
-
Add a generous mound of shredded roast beef.
-
Top with a slice of cheese (or half a slice if it’s large).
-
Place the second biscuit on top and gently press the edges to seal.
Do not press the biscuit fully flat—you want them tall so the cheese bubbles over the edges beautifully.
5. Add the Cheese Topping
Brush the tops with melted butter.
Sprinkle each biscuit with shredded mozzarella or provolone.
This is what creates that signature golden dome seen in the photo—crispy, bubbly, and irresistible.
6. Bake to Perfection
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until:
-
The biscuits are golden
-
The cheese topping is browned and bubbling
-
The bottoms are cooked through
If the tops brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil for the last few minutes.
7. Garnish & Serve
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with:
-
Fresh thyme leaves
-
Parsley
-
Cracked black pepper
Serve warm with au jus, gravy, or your favorite dipping sauce.
❤️ Why This Recipe Works So Well
✔ The biscuits keep everything soft, tender, and flaky
Biscuits make the perfect bread layer—they puff beautifully and seal the filling inside like a mini pot pie.
✔ The roast beef stays juicy
Worcestershire and broth add depth and moisture, so the beef never dries out.
✔ The cheese creates a beautiful crust
The double-cheese approach (inside + on top) makes these melts extra indulgent.
✔ Sheet-pan convenience
All melts bake at the same time with minimal cleanup.
