Quickie: Biscuits with Pancetta and Cheese

     It's been a really long time since I've done one of these fast, simple, semi-hommade recipes. It's not really a recipe, just a fun spin on one of everyone's favorite store-bought shortcuts, those delightfully flaky biscuits that come conveniently in a can.  Of course these are a great addition to any dinner just as they are, but they also have endless possibilities and are second only to the canned crescent roll. With a little bit of fancy ham and cheese, you can completely reinvent them.

INGREDIENTS:
1 can of 10 flaky biscuits
10 slices of pancetta (or prosciutto)
10 slices or cubes of pepper jack (or Monterrey jack) cheese

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven according to the directions on the can and spray a muffin tin with Pam.
2. Gently flatten each biscuit, place them in the muffin tin, and press the dough up the sides to create a little cup.
3. Wrap a piece of pancetta around a cube of pepper jack cheese (or roll it with a slice of cheese) and tuck it into the middle of each biscuit cup.
4. Bake according to the directions on the can, then carefully take them out of the pan and enjoy.
Come back tomorrow for this entire dinner recipe!
