Using a butter knife or offset spatula, spread some mustard inside cuts. Fold 1 piece of ham in half and stuff in center cut. Fold 1 piece of cheese in half and stuff in center cut beside ham. Repeat with 2 two side cuts. Place biscuit in a prepared muffin cup, ham and cheese side up. Repeat with remaining biscuits and fillings. Brush tops of biscuits with some butter; reserve remaining butter.

Customization & Variations
Feel free to experiment with your favorite flavors! Swap the Swiss cheese for Gruyère or sharp cheddar for a different cheesy note. Instead of black forest ham, try thinly sliced turkey or even pastrami. For a vegetarian option, consider roasted red peppers or spinach combined with a soft cheese like brie. A sprinkle of kosher salt over the melted butter before baking can enhance all the flavors.
Serve these warm, golden bites as a standout appetizer, a hearty breakfast side, or a delicious addition to your tailgating spread. They pair wonderfully with an extra dollop of Dijon mustard on the side for dipping.
