Ham 'n' Cheese Spiders
1 tube (12 oz.) refrigerated flaky buttermilk biscuits, separated into 10 biscuits
1 tube (11 oz.) refrigerated bread sticks, separated into 12 bread sticks
1 cup chopped fully cooked ham
2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
2 Tbsp. butter, softened

2 Tbsp. sliced ripe olives
1 Tbsp. diced pimientos

---------
On two greased baking sheets, pat five biscuits into 3-1/2 in circles. Cut on breadstick in half lengthwise, then in half widthwise, creating four strips. Repeat nine times. Position eight strips of dough around each biscuit to resemble spider legs; twist and press lightly onto baking sheet. Tuck a 1/2 in. foil ball under each dough strip so it stands up in the center.

Combine the ham, onion, butter and mustard; spoon 3 tablespoons onto each biscuit circle. Fold cheese slices into quartes and place over ham mixture. Pat remaining biscuits into 4-in. circles; place over filling. Pinch edges to seal.

In a small bowl, beat egg yold and water. Brush over tops of biscuits and breadsticks. On each spider, position two olives slices for eyes; place pimientos in center of each olives. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or utnil browned.
