Crispy baked egg roll wrappers wrapped around savory ham and melty mozzarella, ready for dipping in about 30 minutes.
# Ingredients:
For the sticks
01 -
12 egg roll wrappers, about 7 inches each
02 -
12 thin slices deli ham, honey ham or smoked ham
03 -
12 mozzarella string cheese sticks, low-moisture
04 -
2 tablespoons olive oil, for brushing
05 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, plus more to taste
06 -
2 tablespoons water, for sealing wrappers
For serving
07 -
1 cup (240 ml) marinara sauce, ranch, or honey mustard
# Instructions:
01 -
Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
Place one egg roll wrapper on the counter in a diamond shape. Lay one slice of ham in the center and place one mozzarella stick across the ham.
03 -
Fold the side corners over the ends of the cheese. Fold the bottom corner up and roll tightly, brushing the final corner with water to seal. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
04 -
Brush the tops and sides lightly with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt.
05 -
Bake for 10 minutes. Turn each stick over and bake 5-7 minutes more, until the wrappers are golden and crisp.
06 -
Let the sticks rest for 2 minutes so the cheese settles slightly. Serve warm with marinara, ranch, or honey mustard.
# Good to know:
01 -
Best served hot while the mozzarella is stretchy.
02 -
Chill wrapped sticks for 10 minutes before baking if your kitchen is warm.
03 -
Reheat leftovers in an oven or air fryer for the crispiest wrapper.
