Preparing Ham Cheese Sticks
Making ham cheese sticks is straightforward and satisfying. To start, preheat your oven, then roll deli ham around mozzarella sticks—a process that’s both fun and fulfilling. After a quick dredge in flour for that extra crunch, pop them in the oven. They bake to perfection, becoming crispy on the outside while the cheese becomes indulgently gooey.
What you’ll need
To whip up these delicious bites, gather the following essential ingredients:
- 8 slices of deli ham
- 8 mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Feel free to swap deli ham for prosciutto or turkey for a lighter option. For a bit of zing, consider adding a sprinkle of garlic powder to your flour before dredging.
