Step-by-Step Instructions for Ham and Cheese Sticks
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  3. Layer a slice of ham and a cheddar cheese stick onto each rectangle, placing filling towards one end.
  4. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the filling and optionally spread Dijon mustard on the ham.
  5. Gently roll the dough over the filling, tucking it tightly and pinching the edges to seal.
  6. Melt butter and brush generously on the tops of each stick, then sprinkle with poppy seeds if desired.
  7. Place the sticks on the baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling.
  8. Let cool for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
