Directions

  • 1 Heat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray cookie sheet with cooking spray; set aside. Remove 2 biscuits from can; place remainder in refrigerator. To form hat brims, pat or roll each biscuit into 4-inch circle. Cut each circle into 3 equal pieces; set aside.
  • 2 Cut 1 inch from 2 opposite corners of ham and cheese slices; set aside.
  • 3 For each witch, pat or roll remaining biscuits into 6-inch circles; spread mustard to within 1 inch of each biscuit edge. Top mustard with 1 slice cheese and 1 slice ham; bring edges of biscuit together in center over ham and cheese, pressing to seal. Place seam side down on cookie sheet.
  • 4 For hat brim, place 1 piece from a cut biscuit on top of each biscuit sandwich, 1 inch from a pointed end. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on biscuit below hat brim. Use small knife or toothpick to cut mouth shape into biscuit. Press corn snack into dough to make nose, and top with olive halves for eyes.
  • 5 Bake 14 to 17 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Place face decorations close together, because as the biscuit bakes, it will puff and separate them.

If you want your Ham-witches to have warts, add a small piece of biscuit dough to the face. Strips of roasted red bell pepper can be used for the mouth, and chow mein noodles for the hair.

We made these last year with the crescent dough instead of the biscuits and they were incredible!!! The office still talks about these sandwiches.

Wonderful suggestion! I like it even better with jamon iberico de bellota, also known as pata negra. As you probably know Iberico is one of the most delicious hams in the world, it comes from Spain. Even The Economist said that becoming iberico ham is the best thing that can happen to a pig! I always buy my iberico ham from http://buyjamon.com

We made these sandwiches for a Halloween party, and they were a hit with both adults and kids. Fun and tasty.
