I like to entertain a lot and have used these tasty cups on several occasions as an appetizer. I appreciate how easy it is to switch around the ingredients to give them a different flavor.

Ingredients: (Makes:10 servings)

• 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup finely chopped fully cooked ham
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can (4 ounces) chopped green chilies, drained
• ¼ cup sliced ripe olives, drained
• 1 tube (10.2 ounces) refrigerated biscuits Salsa and sour cream, optional

Method:

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, ham, cheese, chilies and olives. Separate dough into 10 biscuits; press each biscuit onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased muffin cup. Fill with ham mixture.

Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown. Let stand for 2 minutes before removing from pan. Serve warm. Garnish with salsa and sour cream if desired.
