Finger Ham Biscuits
Delicious finger ham biscuits feature a flavorful mustard and onion glaze, layered with ham and mozzarella, baked to perfection—ideal for snacks, appetizers, or casual gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook mustard, poppy seed, margarine, and minced onion in a saucepan for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring well.
- Slice finger dinner rolls in half horizontally and baste the cut sides with the cooked mixture.
- Layer thin sliced ham or ground ham, then mozzarella cheese, repeating as desired to create layers.
- Place the assembled rolls in an oven-safe dish and bake at 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider using a spicy mustard instead of regular mustard. If you don’t have poppy seeds, sesame seeds can be a great substitute. You can also use butter instead of margarine for a richer flavor. If you're short on time, pre-sliced ham and cheese can speed up the assembly. This dish pairs beautifully with Grannie Brockman'S Icebox Rolls for a complete meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these biscuits warm as a delightful appetizer or main dish at your next gathering. They pair well with a fresh salad or vegetable platter for a balanced meal. For a sweet ending, consider following with Sarah'S Sugar Cookies. A light dipping sauce, such as honey mustard, can enhance the flavor.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Finger Ham Biscuits can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Avoid using a microwave as it can make the rolls soggy.
