3 years ago

Here’s a fun and tasty appetizer bite that makes a great presentation

and is very easy to make

These savory little “cupcakes” are actually made with a biscuit bottom

They are filled with chive cream cheese,

topped with a chicken nugget wrapped in ham

and covered with Swiss cheese

Yes, please!

Swiss cheese, deli ham, regular size canned biscuits,

whipped chive cream cheese, and chicken nuggets

Separate the biscuit in half horizontally

Hold the biscuit and gently pull it apart with your fingers

and place each half into a sprayed mini muffin pan,

pushing down the center forming a mini pie shell

Place chive cream cheese into the bottom of the biscuit

Wrap each chicken nugget with a strip of ham

and place them on top of the cream cheese

Place a square of cheese on top

Bake at 375 degrees for 12-17 minutes, until dough is golden

Pop the cupcakes out of the pan, and serve immediately

with Honey Mustard dressing for dipping

Variations:

You can use leftover cooked chicken pieces,

rotisserie chicken pieces, grilled chicken nuggets

You can substitute mayonnaise, honey mustard,

or a little Alfredo sauce for the cream cheese

You can substitute cooked bacon for ham

You can use Gruyère, Manchego instead of Swiss
