OLIVE AND HAM APPETIZER STACKS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, basil and vegetable juice until soft dough forms; beat vigorously 20 strokes. Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix; roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into a ball; knead 5 times.
• Press or roll dough about 1/4 inch thick. With 1 1/4-inch round cutter, cut into rounds. Gather dough scraps together and reroll; cut to make 48 rounds. On ungreased cookie sheet, place dough rounds 1 inch apart.
• Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until edges begin to turn golden brown. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes.
• Cut each ham slice into 6 wedge-shaped pieces; roll up each wedge. For each appetizer, spear toothpick into olive, 1 piece of rolled-up ham and baked round.

SPANISH HAM WITH OLIVES AND ORANGES

Steps:

• Remove zest from a quarter of 1 orange, cut zest into very thin strips, and set aside.
• Cut away peel and pith of oranges and separate segments, removing white membranes. Cut segments into 1/2-inch pieces, and place in a small bowl. Coarsely chop olives, and add to oranges. Add shallot, olive oil, orange juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper; toss to combine.
• Cut bread into 4 wedges. Split 1 wedge crosswise with your hands (set remaining bread aside for another use), separating the top and bottom crusts. Tear each half into 4 chunks, and arrange on a serving plate. Place a slice of ham, folding or rolling it if necessary, on each piece of bread, and spoon about 1 tablespoon of the orange mixture on top. Sprinkle with zest, and serve.

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth; stir in the olives and onions. Spread over ham slices. Roll up, jelly-roll style, starting with a short side. Chill for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, cut into 1-in. pieces.
