Baked Ham & Cheese Sticks 

Crispy, golden cheese-wrapped ham rolls oozing with melty goodness — perfect for snacks or party bites!
Ingredients:
* 8 slices of deli ham
* 8 mozzarella cheese sticks (or string cheese)
* 1 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* 1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tbsp olive oil (optional, for extra crispiness)
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place shredded cheese in small piles on the parchment, slightly larger than the ham slices.
3. Lay a slice of ham on top of each cheese pile.
4. Place one cheese stick at the edge of each ham slice and roll tightly.
5. Sprinkle tops with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Drizzle lightly with olive oil if desired.
6. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden and bubbly.
7. Serve hot while the cheese is gooey.
Pro Tip:
For a smoky twist, use smoked gouda instead of mozzarella and add a pinch of paprika before baking.
