Description
A delicious and easy recipe for Ham and Cheese Sticks that are perfect for snacks or appetizers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup diced ham
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and shredded cheddar cheese until smooth. Add the diced ham and mix until evenly combined.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the milk and egg. Gradually add this mixture to the cheese and ham mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into strips or desired shapes.
- Place the cut dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding some chopped green onions or herbs like parsley or chives to the dough for extra flavor.
- You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella for a different taste.
