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.

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!
These Baked Ham & Cheese Mozzarella Sticks would be a great way to ring in the new year, celebrate the Super Bowl, or just have for after school snacks at home.

Can you use filo pastry wrappers?
I haven’t tried it that way but you can give it a shot!
That’s what I thought the pastry was on the outside. Interesting using Egg Roll Wraps
Did u guys try these or maybe anything else? Especially if it worked to brown them?
My toddlers loved them! So cheesy and delicious.
Thanks for sharing, Brianna!
We loved these ❤️
Thanks for stopping by and sharing!
These were delicious! I baked for a few extra minutes on the other side and they came out perfect.
Thanks for sharing, Kara!
Could you use croissant rolls
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.
Can’t wait to try your recipe but almost left because was so frustrated with all the ads and pop ups.
Sorry about that, Stace! Unfortunately the ads are what help keep the website free! They’re an necessary evil!
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!
Can you air fry these?
Absolutely!! Let me know how they turn out for you!
Could you use won ton wrappers?
Sure! I would maybe try doubling up since they are so thin!
Would this work with won ton wrappers?
I bought by accident.
Thanks
Yes, I would double up thought because they are so thin!
I don’t know about any of these kinds of wraps; did this kind brown? Any tips?
