Yield
5 sandwiches
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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Bake until golden brown, 15-20 minutes. Serve warm.
