Prepare the Ingredients:
Place the slices of ham on a flat surface.
Place a cheese stick on the edge of each ham slice and roll it up tightly. Make sure the cheese is fully covered by the ham.
Set Up Breading Stations:
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
Coat the Ham and Cheese Sticks:
Roll each ham-wrapped cheese stick in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Finally, roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Chill (Optional):
Place the coated sticks on a baking tray and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to help the coating set. This step helps prevent the cheese from leaking when frying.
Fry the Sticks:
Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (around 350°F or 175°C), carefully place the sticks in the oil.
Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Drain and Serve:
Remove the sticks with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve:
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.
Enjoy your delicious ham and cheese sticks!
