Scale
Ingredients
- 12 eggroll wrappers (7″)
- 12 slices honey ham (thinly sliced)
- 12 mozzarella sticks (string cheese)
- Olive oil, for brushing
- Garlic salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Wrappers: Lay an eggroll wrapper down in a diamond shape on a clean surface.
- Assemble Rolls: Place a slice of honey ham in the center of the wrapper, then position one mozzarella stick on top of the ham. Fold in the sides of the wrapper tightly over the cheese and then roll up the wrapper completely to form an eggroll shape. Ensure the seam side is down when placing on the baking sheet to secure the roll.
- Season Rolls: Lightly brush each assembled stick with olive oil and sprinkle garlic salt evenly over the tops for a flavorful crust.
- Bake First Side: Bake the sticks in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until they begin to brown, keeping an eye on them as oven temperatures differ.
- Flip and Finish Baking: Remove the baking sheet carefully, turn each stick to the other side to ensure even browning, then return to the oven for an additional 4-5 minutes until golden and crispy.
- Serve and Enjoy: Take the sticks out of the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy this crispy, cheesy treat!
Notes
- Make sure to seal the eggroll wrappers well to prevent cheese from leaking out during baking.
- Use a brush to evenly coat the rolls with olive oil for a better golden color.
- You can substitute honey ham with any other deli meat if preferred.
- Serve with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
- Check for doneness a few minutes early to avoid overbaking as ovens vary.
