Lil Piggy Biscuits Stuffed With Ham And Cheese Recipe

How to make it

---

• Preheat oven for 400
• Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray
• Open Italian bread dough and roll out on counter-top.
• Using a "round" cookie cutter or lid from a peanut butter jar, cut out as many circles as you can get out of the dough.
• Place one dough cut-out on the cookie sheet. Top with a teaspoon sized portion of ham and cheddar cheese. Cover with a second round dough cut-out and crimp the edges together tightly.
• Cut out small triangles from the left over dough and position on dough circles to form the pig ears.
• Using a bottle cap, cut out small dough circles and place in center of pig's head to form the nose.
• Using a knife, press slits in the nose portion to create nostrils. Chop rosemary sprigs into short lengths and press into nostril slits to give them more definition.
• Use two peppercorns and press into place to create the eyes.
• Crack egg into a bowl and mix together briskly to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, coat each piggy face with egg wash.
• Repeat so that all the dough is used up.
• Place cookie sheet in oven for about 10 minutes or until they start to brown.
• Remove cookie sheet and using a spatula transfer each pig biscuit to a plate. Serve immediately.
• Determine if your kids are good enough children to go through the trouble to make these again!! =0)
