Delicious Beef Ham and Cheese Sticks – Easy Snack Recipe

Enjoy a delightful combination of savory beef ham and gooey cheese wrapped in a crispy shell. Perfect for game nights or quick appetizers!

Ingredients

  • Beef Ham
  • Mozzarella cheese or Cheddar cheese
  • Phyllo Dough or Puff Pastry
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Italian herbs
  • Olive oil or any cooking oil
  • Melted butter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your sticks will bake evenly and become golden and crispy.
  2. Prepare the Dough: If you’re using phyllo dough, lay out a sheet on a clean surface and brush lightly with olive oil. If you’re using puff pastry, roll it out to your desired thickness.
  3. Add the Filling: Place a slice of beef ham in the center of the dough, then add a generous piece of cheese on top. You can also sprinkle some seasonings at this point for an extra flavor boost.
  4. Roll the Sticks: Carefully roll the dough around the beef ham and cheese, tucking in the edges to ensure the filling doesn’t spill out. Aim for a tight roll for the best results.
  5. Cut into Pieces: Once rolled, use a sharp knife to cut the log into sticks, about 2-3 inches long. Place them seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Brush with Oil: Give the sticks a light brush with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
  8. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the sticks from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or ranch dressing.
