Easy Ham and Cheese Stromboli
This Ham and Cheese Stromboli is super easy to make and tastes delicious! Pizza crust is stuffed with honey mustard, monterrey jack cheese, and smoky Black Forest Ham, then baked to a crispy and cheesy perfection!
I love easy meals.
As much as I like to plan out new and exciting dinners, when the time to cook actually rolls around, I tend to stick with whatever I can make that’s quick, easy, and won’t be frowned upon by my kids. Do your kids do that to you? Mine sure do!
That’s why I am absolutely in love with this easy ham and cheese stromboli recipe! It’s quick (under 25 minutes), easy (only a few ingredients), and my kids love it (did I mention the ham and cheese?!)
I made this stromboli with the new SmokeMaster Black Forest Ham from Boar’s Head. You can find it at your local grocery store’s deli. We really enjoyed it since it’s crafted with the finest ingredients, and is naturally smoked with imported German beechwood. It’s so delicious and has a distinct flavor that is rich and smooth. It even smelled nice and smoky when I took it out of the package!
I loved the smoky flavor of this ham, as we are already big fans of smoked meat. When my hubby returned from deployment a couple of years ago, the first thing he wanted to do was go out and buy a Big Green Egg. We literally went and got one the very next day! Since then, we’ve spent a lot of time smoking different kinds of meat and finding out what we like and don’t like; our “smoke house rules,” you could say!
For us, we like to smoke meat at a low temperature for a longer period of time. My husband invested in a temperature control device to help with this, and he believes it was money very well spent!
Another one of our “rules” is that we like to make all of our dry rubs from scratch. This way you can control the spices that go into your recipe, and we’ve found homemade rubs just taste better than any you can buy at the store. You can find one of our favorite rub recipes in my post for Crockpot BBQ Ribs.We also love to use good ole yellow mustard to adhere the rub to the meat before we smoke it.

- Top with ham and cheese, then roll dough lengthwise folding in sides as you go. Sprinkle top with garlic powder and parmesan cheese, then cut slits into the top of the dough to allow heat to escape.

This recipe is so simple and delicious. The whole family enjoyed it and will be making again!
My mouth is watering! Your stromboli turned out great! This is perfect for an app or snack or part of a lighter meal. Love it!
So simple and yet it looks divine, perfect for a quick bite, i need to make it
What a cool twist on stromboli! It looks delicious, and I know my kids would love this! I’ll have to add it to ideas for their lunches.
I think the temp is too high. The bottom cooked much faster than the top and it was almost burnt… I’ll cook at 400 per the dough instructions and cook for a little longer.
Hands down buying the ingredients for this! It looks ammmmazing!!!!! YUM!!!!
Yum Stromboli is always a fun dish to make! I love how you can customize it too
Omg so yummy! I cannot wait for the pain of my wisdom tooth to go away so I can eat all the yummy stuff and not soft and melty things 😂
I love Stromboli tonight I’m making it with Ham sharp cheddar cheese, sliced dill pickles and Parmesan. I basically use whatever I have. With honey mustard I use Pillsberry piecrust, roll it out and it seems to work quite well. Thanks for your recipes I never thought of making a pizza Stromboli. Shelly.
I haven’t had stromboli in years. Thanks for reminding me to have one soon. I bet yours is as delicious as it is beautiful.
I love meals like this one – it reminds me of something my mom used to make when I was a kid AND I can get my own kids to eat dinner without complaining! Definitely a winner!
My kids are going to love this. Ham and cheese is one of our favorite combos.
Made this for dinner and had smiling faces all around the table; delicious!
This recipe is delicious and so easy. It was golden, flaky and oozing with cheese! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe
So glad you enjoyed it, Amber!
This strombolli is absolutely delicious! I actually did run into a problem with the cooking time as well. I used the Walmart brand thin crust pizza dough and it was still pretty doughy after 15 minutes cooking at 425. Could you tell me what dough you used? I’m thinking this Great Value thing crust isn’t very thin crust at all! Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Hi Sandra, I usually use Pillsbury dough. Glad you enjoyed it!
