Ingredients
-
1 cup chopped fully cooked ham
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped onion
-
2 tablespoons butter, softened
-
1-1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard
-
2 tubes (6 ounces each) small refrigerated flaky biscuits (5 count), divided
-
1 tube (11 ounces) refrigerated breadsticks
-
5 slices American cheese
-
1 large egg yolk
-
1 teaspoon water
-
10 ripe olive slices (about 2 tablespoons)
-
1 tablespoon diced pimientos
-
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
Directions
-
1.
Preheat oven to 375°. Using small pieces of foil, make forty 1/2-in. foil balls for shaping spider legs; coat lightly with cooking spray.

2.
For filling, mix first 4 ingredients. On greased baking sheets, pat 5 biscuits into 3-1/2-in. circles. For legs, cut each of 10 breadsticks crosswise in half; cut each piece lengthwise in half. (Reserve remaining breadsticks for another use.) Attach 8 legs to each biscuit, twisting and pressing onto baking sheet to adhere. Tuck a foil ball under the center of each leg.

3.
Spoon filling over biscuits. Fold cheese slices into quarters; place over top. Pat remaining biscuits into 4-in. circles; place over cheese, pressing edges to seal.

Whisk together egg yolk and water; brush over tops. Attach olives for eyes; fill centers with pimientos. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
