Foodie Byte

It’s really worth it to freshly squeeze oranges for this recipe; since the orange flavor is concentrated, the sauce has a fruity brightness that would be sacrificed if you used prepared orange juice.

Ingredients

2 pounds ham, sliced thinly
1/2 cup honey mustard

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons heavy cream
Pinch of salt
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (from 6 oranges)
1 tablespoon molasses
4 ounces aged Cheddar, thinly sliced

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Arrange biscuits on cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. In a small bowl, mix together egg, cream, and salt, and brush generously over tops of biscuits. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until golden. Let cool.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry ham pieces in butter until browned, working in batches. Set ham pieces aside. In skillet, add mustard, orange juice, and molasses to pan drippings and simmer until thickened and reduced to about 1 cup.
Cut biscuits in half and dip bottom halves into mustard sauce. Pile with ham and Cheddar slices. Dip top half into sauce and top off sandwiches. Serve warm or at room temperature.
