HAM-CHEDDAR BISCUIT SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Fold the ham slices, put them on top of the mustard, leaving a 1/4-inch border, and then mound a scant 1/2 cup of the Cheddar on top. Fold the dough over to make a half-moon and press with a fork to seal. As you go, transfer each finished biscuit to the prepared baking sheet.
