SPICY BISCUIT POPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 9-inch square pan with cooking spray. In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, water, onions and chili powder until soft dough forms.
• On surface generously sprinkled with Bisquick mix, gently roll dough in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape dough into ball; knead 10 times. Roll into 10x10-inch square. Cut 5 rows by 5 rows to make 25 (2-inch) squares.
• Wrap 1 dough square around 1 cheese cube; roll into ball. Place in pan. Repeat with remaining dough and cheese cubes, placing 5 balls in each row. Brush butter over top.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Serve warm.

JALAPENO POPPER MINI BISCUITS

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 4 to 5 inches from the heating element, and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Cut the stem end off the jalapenos, cut each in half lengthwise and remove and discard the seeds (wear food-grade gloves if your skin is sensitive). Arrange the jalapenos skin-side up on the prepared baking sheet, and brush with the oil. Broil until the peppers are blackened and puffy, 3 to 4 minutes. When cool enough to handle, rub off the skins (running under cold water helps). Cut 2 of the halves into large dice so you have 32 pieces (1 for the top of each biscuit); set aside. Finely chop the rest of the peppers, and transfer to a medium bowl.
• Switch the oven from broil to bake, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Remove the foil from the baking sheet, and line it with parchment. Beat the egg well in a small bowl.
• Add the cream cheese, mozzarella and half the egg to the bowl with the chopped peppers, add 1/4 teaspoon salt and mix to combine.
• Separate the biscuit rounds, and cut each into quarters. Make a deep indentation in the center of each quarter, and fill with a heaping teaspoon of the pepper-cheese mixture (it will mound above the biscuit a fair amount). Brush any exposed biscuit with the remaining beaten egg. Bake until the biscuits are puffed and golden around the top, 10 to 12 minutes. Garnish each with a piece of reserved jalapeno.
