Things don't always need to be fancy. Sometimes you just shove ham and cheese inside of a biscuit and air fry it. And it's delicious.

That's the viral TikTok recipe from @blind_momofboys that I tested this week for Mashable's AirFryDay. And it was good! Because what could be bad about a ham and cheese biscuit? It's salty, melty goodness tucked inside of buttery carbs. It's a perfect lunch for kids or a delicious midnight snack.

Sure, it's not gourmet, but here's what you need to know to make it.

Ingredients

• 1 tube of biscuits

• 1 package of American cheese slices

• 1 package of deli ham

Directions

1. Pop open your biscuits and choose how many you want to make.

2. Split each biscuit in half.

3. Fold 1 piece of cheese and 1 piece of ham into small squares.

4. Place the ham and cheese inside of the biscuit.

5. Press the edges of the biscuit together to seal it.

6. Air fry at 375 degrees for about 10 minutes, flipping about halfway through.

The details

This is not difficult. It's making a little ham and cheese pocket. Here's how @blind_momofboys' process looked.

Legitimately, the most difficult part for me was opening the biscuit tube. I can never get those damn things open.

Other than that it's remarkably straightforward. The ham and cheese is pre-cooked. The biscuit air fries for just ten minutes. And in the end you have a homemade, hot-pockety bite that's tasty in a way that's almost shameful. Processed cheese and ham inside of a tubed biscuit shouldn't taste this good, and yet it does. The original TikTok has racked up 6 million views, so clearly people like it.

Here's what my result looked like.

If you have kids, hold onto this recipe. You can make it into whatever you like. A bit of pasta sauce and cheese? Boom, it's a pizza pocket. Turkey and cheese? Of course. Just cheese? Sure, it's a grilled cheese biscuit.

Sometimes, you just want tasty stuff, well, stuffed inside of a biscuit. Treat yourself.
