Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and garlic powder.

Cut in Butter

Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Bake

Place the biscuits on a baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Prepare Ham

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with slices of ham to create a cup.

Bake

Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Mix Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the sharp cheddar cheese, cream cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise, garlic powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Chill

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld.
