Baked Ham and Cheese Mozzarella Sticks - Page 2 of 2

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil spray.

2. Wrap the Cheese

Wrap each mozzarella stick in a strip of ham. Make sure it’s snug to help the cheese stay intact as it melts.

3. Prep the Coating Station

Set up three shallow bowls:

Bowl 1: Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
Bowl 2: Beaten eggs
Bowl 3: Bread crumbs mixed with Italian seasoning

4. Coat the Sticks

Dip each ham-wrapped cheese stick in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs, pressing gently to coat evenly.

5. Bake to Golden Perfection

Place sticks on the baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking oil. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, flipping halfway if needed, until golden and bubbly.

6. Serve Hot

Enjoy immediately with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or honey mustard for dipping.
