Ham and cheese sticks make for a quick and delicious snack or appetizer. Here’s a simple recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated crescent roll dough
- 8 slices of ham (thinly sliced)
- 8 sticks of cheese (string cheese works well)
- 1 egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- Optional: mustard or honey mustard for dipping
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles.
- Assemble the sticks:
- Place one slice of ham on each triangle of dough.
- Place one stick of cheese on top of the ham.
- Roll up each triangle, starting from the wide end, wrapping the ham and cheese inside the dough.
- Seal the edges: Press the edges of the dough to ensure the cheese is sealed inside.
- Brush with egg wash: Place the rolled-up sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each one with the beaten egg to give them a nice golden color when baked.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve with mustard or honey mustard for dipping, if desired.
Enjoy your homemade ham and cheese sticks!
