Ingredients You’ll Need
Makes 12–16 sticks
1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade), thawed if frozen
4 slices deli ham , cut into thin strips

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Prepare the Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to smooth any creases. Cut it into 12–16 even strips, about 1 inch wide.
Step 3: Assemble the Sticks
Place a strip of ham and a sprinkle of shredded cheese along each puff pastry strip.
Fold one side of the pastry over the filling, then roll it up tightly to enclose the ham and cheese. Repeat with the remaining strips.
Step 4: Brush with Egg Wash
Place the assembled sticks on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down.
Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
Step 5: Bake
