A delectable twist on traditional mozzarella sticks that elevates your snacking experience with a combination of ham and cheese encased in a crispy, golden coating.
Ingredients
Scale:
8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, cut into sticks
4 ounces of ham, sliced into strips
1 cup of all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 cup of breadcrumbs
½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing the baking sheet
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with cooking spray or olive oil.
Take your mozzarella sticks and wrap each one with a strip of ham.
In three separate bowls, prepare your breading stations: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Dredge each ham-wrapped mozzarella stick in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumb mixture.
Place the breaded sticks on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and the cheese is melty.
Let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
