The perfect nosh for a picnic or party, light biscuits get stuffed with ham and Cheddar and smothered in an orange mustard pan sauce.

Why try? By brushing the store-bought biscuits with egg and cream and then dipping them in this decadent sauce, you can feel confident that these sandwiches will have a homemade flavor, even though they are quick and easy to prepare.

Foodie Byte: It’s really worth it to freshly squeeze oranges for this recipe; since the orange flavor is concentrated, the sauce has a fruity brightness that would be sacrificed if you used prepared orange juice.
