Sunnys Ham And Cheese Biscuits With Honey Dijon Butter Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
• Pulse the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and 1/2 cup of the Cheddar and pulse until the mixture looks like coarse meal with pea-size bits of butter remaining. Add the buttermilk and pulse a few times, until the dough just comes together.
• Turn the dough out onto a work surface that's lightly dusted with flour, then pat into a 7-by-7-inch square that's about 1 inch thick. Scatter half of the ham and 1/4 cup of the Cheddar on half of the dough, then fold the other half of dough over like a book; gently pinch the edges to seal. Pat the dough out again into a 7-by-7-inch square, scatter the remaining ham and 1/4 cup of cheese on top and fold the dough over like a book. Press once more into a 7-by-7-inch square.
• Use a sharp chef's knife to cut the dough into 12 even rectangular pieces. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops of each piece with additional buttermilk. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and well browned, 18 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Line a large baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper or nonstick aluminum foil. Place a 4.5-inch diameter bowl upside down in the center of the baking dish and use it as a guide (it will be the center, empty area of your wreath). Arrange triangular sections of the crescent dough on the parchment in a circle around the bowl with the long points facing outward as the "rays" and the wide bases in the center with the edges overlapping. Brush the jalapeño jelly on the dough. Remove the bowl.
• In a small bowl, mix the ham, Gruyere and pepper jack, then layer the mixture on the dough, creating a ring around the center of the circle. Pull the points of dough from the outer edge over the filling and tuck under the center rim of the dough circle. The filling will show and that's ok! Top with jalapeño slices all around.
• Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before slicing to serve.

Steps:

• Make the butter: In a food processor, add the butter, garlic, lemon zest and juice, scallions, parsley, Italian seasoning, a nice pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Blend all until smooth, then taste and season with more salt if needed.
• Make the breadcrumbs: In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley.
• Assemble and grill: Preheat a grill to 600 degrees F.
• Arrange the oysters in their half shells on the back of an upside-down baking rack. Add a heaping teaspoon of the butter to each. Sprinkle each with a bit of the breadcrumb mixture. Place the rack on the grill over the direct heat and cook until the oysters are firm and the breadcrumbs are lightly golden, 6 to 8 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges for spritzing.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and garlic powder in a bowl. Whisk to combine.
• Dice the cold butter up into chunks, and cut it into the dry mixture with your fingers, a fork, or a pastry cutter, until the mixture resembles coarse sand, and butter is well blended in. Stir in cheese and ham, gently stirring to evenly coat all the cheese and ham pieces with the flour mixture.
• Use a fork and stir in 1 cup buttermilk. If the mixture is still dry, add a little more liquid at a time until the dough just comes together (it should be a little bit sticky, but not "wet").
• Shape dough into a ball by hand, handling the dough gently. Then pat the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/2- to 3/4-inch thickness. Use a small biscuit cutter to cut 12 to 15 biscuits out, and arrange them on a baking sheet with sides just barely touching.
• Bake in the preheated oven until just golden brown around the edges/tops/bottoms and cooked through in the center, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Cool briefly on the baking sheet before moving to a platter or cooling rack. Best served warm!
