Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 mozzarella string cheese sticks
- 12 thin slices honey ham
- 12 fresh egg roll wrappers
Supporting Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Dipping Sauces:
- Marinara sauce
- Ranch dressing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Spread one egg roll wrapper diagonally on your work surface, creating a diamond shape.
- Center a slice of honey ham in the middle of the wrapper, ensuring it’s completely flat.
- Position one mozzarella string cheese stick directly on top of the ham slice.
- Fold the left and right corners of the wrapper tightly inward over the cheese and ham.
- Roll the bottom corner upward, wrapping the filling snugly to prevent cheese from escaping.
- Seal the final edge by dabbing water along the seam, pressing gently to secure.
- Repeat the process for all twelve mozzarella sticks, creating identical rolled packages.
- Arrange the sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, keeping them separate.
- Brush each stick with ½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle 1/12 teaspoon garlic salt evenly across the surface of each stick.
- Bake at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until the wrapper turns golden brown.
- Carefully flip each stick and return to the oven for an additional 4-5 minutes.
- Remove from oven when the exterior is crisp and golden all around.
- Allow the sticks to rest for 2-3 minutes before serving with marinara and ranch dressing.
Notes
- Fresh mozzarella works best, creating a gooier texture that stretches beautifully when melted.
- Seal wrappers carefully with water to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
- Brush olive oil lightly and evenly for a crisp, golden exterior without making the wrapper soggy.
- For gluten-free options, swap egg roll wrappers with rice paper or low-carb tortillas to accommodate dietary needs.
