Posted by Sandy GluckToday I made fun sandwiches: little cheese biscuits with two types of fillings. You can use your favorite biscuit recipe, cut them into small rounds and if not baking right away, place them on a baking sheet and freeze them. Once frozen, pop them into a freezer container and they'll keep for 2 months. When you're ready, bake them straight from the freezer -- they'll take just a couple of more minutes to heat up than if they were baked fresh. These fun sandwiches are perfect to bring to a party, or give as a hostess gift (in an attractive container the hostess can keep). Just write the baking temperature and time on them.
Fillings can be as varied as you like. I cut the biscuits in half and spread pepper jelly on half the cut sides and mustard on the other. Then I topped the biscuits with ham, cheese, and sliced cukes. On other biscuits, I made a mix of soft goat cheese; softened even further with a little milk to make it spreadable and stirred in thinly sliced scallion. The goat cheese mix went on both cut sides and was topped with cukes and nasturtium and borage flowers.
Biscuits make perfect little sandwiches and you can be as creative with your fillings as you like. No worries if you don't have nasturtium or other edible flowers. Sure they're pretty, but a couple of arugula or watercress leaves had the same peppery bite as nasturtium. Most of all, have fun and enjoy!
