Ingredients

12 egg roll wrappers

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
If desired, spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on each slice of ham. Wrap each mozzarella stick with a slice of ham.
Place the ham-wrapped cheese stick near one corner of an egg roll wrapper. Fold the sides in and roll up tightly, sealing the edge with a bit of beaten egg.
Repeat with remaining ingredients.
Place the wrapped sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with egg wash and spray with cooking spray or brush with olive oil.
Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, turning halfway through for even browning.
Serve warm with marinara or ranch for dipping.

Notes

For extra crunch, bake on a wire rack over the baking sheet.
Make ahead and freeze before baking; bake from frozen, adding 5–7 minutes to the time.
Try different cheeses or turkey slices for variation.
Let cool slightly before eating as the cheese will be hot.
