Baked Cheese Sticks (Ham & Cheese)

This Baked Cheese Sticks Recipe is a healthier take on fried Cheese Sticks. They’re filled with Ham & Cheese for a whole new flavor! It’s such a fun idea for a kids dinner, but you’ll want to sneak a bite or two.

We are BIG fans of mozzarella cheese sticks around here but I don’t really want to be feeding Henry a bunch of fried foods. These are the best of both worlds. They’re easy to make, super flavorful, full of melty cheese, and baked to perfection!

It’s like a ham and cheese sandwich, wrapped up into an easy (and fun) to eat stick.

Healthy Ham & Cheese Sticks Recipe – Baked not Fried!

The best part about these ham & mozzarella cheese sticks is that they’re baked instead of fried. They may not be the epitome of health, but baked mozzarella sticks are infinitely better than their fried counterpart. This mozzarella sticks recipe is so fun to serve at home for the whole family!

If Henry really is my son, then he’s going to LOVE LOVE LOVE cheese. Any kind, any form, any meal. All day every day. I love that this baked mozzarella sticks recipe is an easy and relatively healthy way for kids and adults to get their cheese fix. Wrapped in ham and baked into an eggroll is an amazing way to eat melty cheese. We are big fans of these cheese sticks!

How to Make Cheese Sticks

Making traditional deep-fried mozzarella sticks isn’t the easiest (or healthiest). So instead of how to make mozzarella cheese sticks, I’m going to show you how to make this BAKED Mozzarella Sticks Recipe.

There are a few difference between the mozzarella cheese sticks you’re used to and these baked ham & cheese sticks, but I promise you’re going to love them! These Homemade Mozzarella Sticks are going to be even better.

What’s so different about these baked cheese sticks?

  • They are BAKED instead of fried
  • We’re using eggroll wrappers instead of deep-fried breading
  • We’re adding in some tasty ham
  • And to make things easy, we’re using mozzarella cheese sticks for the cheese filling

Once you try this Homemade Cheese Sticks Recipe, you’ll never want to go back to those fried Mozzarella Sticks (okay, maybe just every once in a while for a guilty treat). But you really won’t miss them once you’ve had these Ham & Cheese Sticks. And your kids will love them too!

It’s a great way to feel good about the snacks you’re giving your family. I’m not saying these baked mozzarella sticks are healthy, but they are a healthier twist on a favorite. You gotta indulge every once in a while!

Croissant rolls are a lot different than egg roll wrappers but you can sure give it a shot. You may need to adjust baking times so be sure to watch them while they bake.

It would be nice to see some pictures of them actually being rolled up. All the pictures except one are of the finished product.

There is a video as well that shows you how to roll them! It should pop up on the side or there is a video link at the bottom of the recipe! I hope that helps!
