Ingredients
Scale
Ham and Cheese Rolls
- 12 eggroll wrappers (7 inches)
- 12 slices honey ham (thinly sliced)
- 12 mozzarella sticks (string cheese)
Seasoning and Garnish
- Olive oil (for brushing)
- Garlic salt (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay an eggroll wrapper flat on a clean surface in a diamond orientation. Place one slice of honey ham in the center, then position a mozzarella stick on top of the ham. Fold the left and right sides of the wrapper inward over the cheese, then roll the wrapper firmly from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely, creating an eggroll shape. Place each roll seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Season and Oil: Lightly brush each ham and cheese roll with olive oil to help achieve a golden crispy crust. Sprinkle garlic salt generously over the tops to add a flavorful kick.
- Bake the Rolls: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the wrappers turn a light golden brown. Check a couple minutes before the minimum bake time as ovens vary. Carefully turn each roll over to the other side and bake for an additional 4-5 minutes until evenly browned and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve these delicious baked ham and cheese mozzarella sticks warm with your favorite dipping sauce such as marinara, ranch, or honey mustard for an irresistible snack or appetizer. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute turkey or chicken slices instead of ham for variation.
- For a spicier version, sprinkle a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili flakes with the garlic salt.
- Try using low-fat mozzarella sticks to reduce calories while keeping gooey cheese texture.
- Ensure wrappers are sealed well to avoid cheese leakage during baking.
- Baking times may vary slightly based on your oven; watch closely to prevent burning.
