Baked Ham and Mozzarella Cheese Sticks wrap one slice of honey ham and one string-cheese stick inside each crisp eggroll wrapper. A light olive-oil coating and garlic salt help the wrappers brown in the oven, delivering a hot, melty snack without deep frying.

The recipe makes exactly 12 sticks, divided into 4 servings. Its listed schedule is 10 minutes of preparation, 15 minutes of cooking, and 25 minutes total. Follow the detailed baking stages—12–15 minutes before flipping and 4–5 minutes afterward—and use the golden color on both sides as the practical doneness guide.

Gather exactly 12 seven-inch eggroll wrappers, 12 thin slices honey ham, and 12 mozzarella string-cheese sticks. You also need olive oil for brushing and garlic salt to taste.

The one-to-one-to-one ratio matters: every wrapper holds one ham slice and one cheese stick. A favorite dipping sauce may be served alongside afterward, but no sauce goes inside the wrapper or onto the baking sheet.

Ingredients You'll Need

  • Main ingredients

How to Make It

1.

1. Prepare for baking: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

2.

2. Assemble the sticks: Place an eggroll wrapper in a diamond shape on your work surface. Put one slice of ham in the center, then place a mozzarella stick on top of the ham.

3.

3. Wrap the filling: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the cheese, then roll the entire wrapper tightly to create an eggroll shape. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

4.

4. Season and oil: Lightly brush each wrapped stick with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic salt to your taste preference.

5.

5. First bake: Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking after 10 minutes since ovens vary. Look for golden brown color on the tops.

6.

6. Flip and finish: Remove from oven and carefully turn each stick over. Return to oven for 4-5 more minutes until browned on the bottom side.

7.

7. Serve hot: Remove from oven and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce while the cheese is still melty.

Extra Information

  1. These are much healthier than traditional fried mozzarella sticks while still being crispy and delicious.
  2. Make sure to seal the eggroll wrappers well to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
