Ingredients

Scale

Ham and Cheese Sticks

  • 2 tubes crescent dough sheets
  • 1 pound deli-sliced ham
  • 8 cheddar cheese sticks

Butter Glaze

  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ tablespoon dried minced onion or onion powder
  • ½ tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the crescent dough sheets and cut each sheet into 4 equal pieces, giving you 8 pieces total for assembly.
  3. Assemble Sticks: Evenly distribute the deli-sliced ham onto each piece of dough. Top each with one cheddar cheese stick. Fold the ends of the dough in and carefully roll to seal the ham and cheese inside.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the assembled ham and cheese sticks seam side down on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
  5. Mix Butter Glaze: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried minced onion or onion powder, and poppy seeds. Stir well to create a savory glaze.
  6. Brush Sticks: Generously brush the butter glaze mixture over each ham and cheese stick to add flavor and help create a golden crust while baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the sticks for 12-15 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and enjoy your Ham and Cheese Sticks warm and fresh for the best flavor and melty cheese experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute provolone or mozzarella sticks for cheddar cheese if preferred.
  • Make sure to seal the dough edges well to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • Serve with mustard or ranch dipping sauces for added flavor.
  • Use fresh crescent dough for the best texture and puffiness.
  • For a spicy twist, add a pinch of cayenne or crushed red pepper to the butter glaze.
  • These sticks can be made ahead and reheated in the oven for a few minutes before serving.
