3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

While the butter melts, cut the Grands biscuits into quarters. In a bowl, toss the biscuit pieces, garlic, Italian Seasoning, and Parmesan cheese together.

Once the butter is melted, add the biscuit mixture, sprinkling with any cheese and garlic that gets let behind in the bowl.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20- 22 minutes until golden brown. Turn out on a dish and enjoy!

Ham and Cheese Sliders

http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2010/04/ham-and-cheese-sliders.html

Ingredients:
24 good white dinner rolls

24 pieces good honey ham
24 small slices Swiss cheese
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup miracle whip
Poppy seed sauce
1 Tablespoon poppyseeds
1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 Tablespoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions:
In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll. Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches. You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy. Serve warm.

Easy Ham & Cheese Biscuits recipe

Ingredients
  • 1/2 lb sliced deli ham
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 2 tubes refrigerator biscuits (such as Grands)
Instructions
  1. Flatten each biscuit until it’s slightly larger than the bottom of a coffee mug. You can do this with your fingers or use an actual straight-sided coffee mug to roll them out.
  2. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese in the middle of the dough circle.
  3. Top the cheese with about 1 tablespoon of ham, or approximately one slice folded up.
  4. Carefully bring up the sides of the dough around the filling and pinch them together to create a ball, enclosing the filling inside.
  5. Place the ball, seam side down, on a greased tinfoil-lined baking sheet. Repeat with rest of biscuits and filling, placing the balls together on the baking sheet, with sides touching slightly.
  6. Sprinkle lightly with cheese.
  7. Bake at 350 for about 8 to 10 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown. Do not over bake.
