Ham and Mozzarella Sticks

I think this came from one of my Paula Deen recipes. My grandchildren love these but so does everyone that tries them.

• Ready In: 40 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 12 sticks

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) package mozzarella string cheese
• 1 (10 ounce) package  deli-sliced ham
• 0.5 (16 ounce) package  frozen phyllo dough, thawed
• 1⁄2 cup butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper: set aside.
2. Wrap each string cheese stick in 2 slices of ham, being sure to secure ends.
3. Unroll phyllo dough. Brush 1 sheet evenly with melted butter. Top with a second sheet of phyllo, brushing evenly with butter. Roll prepared cheese in butter phyllo sheets, being sure to secure tightly.
4. Brush tops and sides with melted butter. Tear 1 phyllo sheet into strips, and layer strips onto buttered sticks. Repeat procedure with remaining prepared cheese stick, ham, phyllo, and butter.
5. Place on prepared baking sheet, and bake for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned.
