Derby Day Biscuits
Ingredients
- Parkerhouse Rolls [I use Sister Shubert’s] or use biscuits frozen, in a can, fresh or homemade
- Orange Rolls [I use Sister Shubert’s] or use frozen rolls, rolls from the bakery, rolls from a can, or homemade
- small slices of spiral sliced or deli ham [I use Archer Farm Spiral Sliced Ham from Target*]
- butter
- bleu cheese
- orange marmalade
- fig jam
Instructions
- Bake rolls according to package directions and let cool. Carefully slice rolls in half. Saute ham slices quickly over medium high heat in a skillet with just a little butter or olive oil, until they gain a little caramelization.
- Plain: Place 1-2 ham slices in each roll. Spread rolls with mustard or butter to taste, or leave them plain.
- Orange: Place 1-2 ham slices on each roll bottom. Spread roll tops with a layer of orange marmalade and put on top of ham, marmalade side down.
- Savory: Combine equal amounts of bleu cheese and butter and spread on bottom of rolls. Add ham and top with a generous layer of fig jam and enclose with roll top.
- Bake the plain and orange rolls covered for 10-15 minutes to heat if desired. Serve the savory fig and bleu cheese rolls slightly warm or at room temperature.
Notes
*Archer Farms is Target’s brand. This is my favorite spiral sliced ham, it is full of flavor and is reasonably priced. Target sells it in 1/2s and 1/4s. I buy the 1/4 size and find that it is perfect for several meals, then there is plenty for casseroles or biscuits
