Ingredients
- Thinly sliced beef ham
- Mozzarella cheese or cheddar cheese (or pepper jack for a spicy kick)
- Store-bought spring roll wrappers (or homemade dough or phyllo pastry)
- Garlic powder
- Black pepper
- Paprika
- Vegetable oil or canola oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the Wrappers: Start by laying out your spring roll wrappers on a clean surface. Keep a damp cloth handy to cover them while you work to prevent them from drying out.
- Assemble the Filling: Place a slice of beef ham and a piece of cheese in the center of each wrapper. You can add a sprinkle of your chosen seasonings for extra flavor.
- Roll the Wrappers: Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly. Make sure to seal the edges by either wetting them with a little water or using a bit of beaten egg.
- Heat the Oil: In a deep frying pan, heat about an inch of oil over medium heat. To check if it’s hot enough, drop in a small piece of bread – it should sizzle and turn golden brown.
- Fry the Sticks: Carefully place the rolled sticks into the hot oil, frying them in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry until golden brown and crispy, usually about 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Drain and Cool: Once fried, remove the sticks and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy these delicious Beef Ham and Cheese Sticks warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara, ranch, or even a spicy mayo.
