Delicious and easy-to-make Ham and Cheese Sticks featuring crescent dough wrapped around savory ham and melted cheddar cheese, brushed with a flavorful buttery poppy seed mixture. Perfect as a warm appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Ham and Cheese Sticks

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

Buttery Topping

  • 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). Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Crescent Dough: Roll out the crescent dough sheets on a clean surface and cut each sheet into 4 equal pieces, resulting in a total of 8 pieces.
  3. Assemble Sticks: Evenly distribute the deli-sliced ham onto each piece of dough. Place one cheddar cheese stick on top of the ham on each piece. Fold the ends of the dough over to seal and then roll each piece to fully enclose the ham and cheese.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place all the prepared ham and cheese sticks onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have some space between them.
  5. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, dried minced onion (or onion powder), and poppy seeds until well combined.
  6. Brush Topping: Generously brush the butter mixture evenly over each ham and cheese stick to add flavor and help with browning.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the sticks turn golden brown and the cheese inside is melted.
  8. Serve: Remove from oven and enjoy the Ham and Cheese Sticks hot and fresh. They can be paired with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, incorporate different herbs or spices like garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning into the butter mixture.
  • These sticks are delicious served with dipping sauces such as mustard, ranch, or a spicy aioli.
  • Make sure to seal the dough well to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
