Surprise!

"Jesus Christ, Earl, what is that?"

"I don't know, but... Check Please!"

That's all I know.  It's a surprise...which means it could contain minced brains but I am leaning toward a potted meat product...which could also be minced brains, Surprise!

I liked the plucky look of these nibbles even without knowing their true identity, so I decided to make up a recipe of my own what I thought they could be constructed from: Deviled Ham, cheese, and biscuits.

  Although potted meat is usually seen as hobo chow, when I was a kid it was a special occasion delicacy...one I hadn't had in probably 20 years.  Time to get back to my hobo roots!

To make/construct these Surprise Potted Meat Cheese Biscuits gather up:

1 tin Deviled Ham

1 tbsp mayo

2 tbsp diced onion

dash of seasoning (Tony's)

sliced cheese

Biscuits

Bake biscuits ahead of time. 

Mix together Deviled ham, mayo, onion, and Tony's in a small bowl.

Cut sliced cheese into decorative shapes and set aside. 

Spread potted meat mixture on top of biscuits.

Decorate tops with cheese Chinese stars.

Place biscuits on a baking sheet and put in toaster oven until cheese melts and potted meat perks up to a pretty shade of pink.

I secretly (secret's out) like Deviled Ham so I loved these!  I made them for a luncheon treat for a friend but she passed on them.  She's more of a minced pig snout kinda gal anyway!
