Scale
Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated biscuits
- 1/4 lb oven roasted chicken lunch meat, sliced thin
- 1/4 lb smoked ham lunch meat, sliced thin
- 1/4 lb sharp cheddar cheese, sliced
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) to prepare for baking the bites.
- Prepare Cupcake Pan: Spray a cupcake pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking. Open the can of biscuits, divide each biscuit in half, and press each half flat. Press each flattened biscuit half into the bottom and sides of each cupcake slot to form the base and shell.
- Assemble Bites: Add a small pinch of oven roasted chicken lunch meat into each biscuit shell. Then add a slice of sharp cheddar cheese. Follow with a small pinch of smoked ham and top with another slice of cheddar cheese. Repeat this layering for all biscuit halves.
- Bake: Place the filled cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 13 minutes, or until the biscuit edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the sharp cheddar cheese with Swiss cheese for a more traditional cordon bleu flavor.
- Using pre-sliced lunch meats speeds up the assembly process.
- Ensure each biscuit half is pressed evenly to create a sturdy base that holds the fillings well.
- Serve with a side of honey mustard or Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- For a crispier texture, bake a few minutes longer, watching closely to avoid burning.
