Ingredients

  • Crescent roll dough or puff pastry

  • Deli-sliced ham or smoked ham

  • Cheese sticks (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

  • 2 tbsp melted butter

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp poppy seeds

  • Coarse salt (for topping)

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Prepare the dough: Lay out your dough on a clean surface and gently roll it out if necessary. Slice the ham into strips that fit within the dough. Cut the cheese sticks to match the dough length.

  • Assemble: Place a piece of ham on each dough section and top with a cheese stick. Carefully roll the dough around the cheese and ham, ensuring the edges are sealed tightly.

  • Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, onion powder, and poppy seeds.

  • Brush and bake: Brush each stick with the glaze mixture and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

  • Cool and serve: Allow the sticks to cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauces like marinara, honey mustard, or ranch.
