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.

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray or oil.
- Unroll pizza dough onto cookie sheet, spreading towards the edges and stretching into a large rectangle.
- Sprinkle garlic powder over the surface of the dough then spread honey mustard in a thin, even layer.
- 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 is making me hungry! Looks easy and so flaky!
I have a gettogether to go to tonight and this would be perfect! So delicious!
I hadn’t come across a stromboli before but love the look of it, and this recipe looks really tasty and straightforward!
I definitely want to try it! Thank you for the recipe. This recipe is perfect for me and my family. I’m sure it is very tasty!
What a great idea to use pre-made pizza dough for stromboli! What a time saver!
I loved this recipe. I don’t normally comment but was irked by one of the negative comments I read. I’m a sandwich lover and this makes a great and simple sandwich. I’m not a mustard lover and did not have honey mustard so I used dijon mustard. I really liked the flavor sensations happening in my mouth as I ate this. I got the garlic powder and parmesan cheese followed by a subtle mustard taste and then the ham and cheese. My first time making a stromboli and I call it a success. I served it with soup. I will definitely experiment with this and other types of stromboli in the future.
Thanks Lisa, so glad to hear that you enjoyed this! Love the idea of using dijon; that’s one of my favorite mustards. Will have to try that next time!
I thought this was gluten free site. Is there a gluten free pizza dough out there you can recommend?
Hi Sandy, sorry but my site is not gluten free, though I do have some recipes on here that are gluten free. I’ve made a few different cauliflower pizza crusts before that were pretty good. Here’s one with pretty good ratings: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/katie-lee/cauliflower-pizza-crust
You gave the recipe 2 stars because you thought the site was gluten free? Get a life.
Really frustrated with this recipe. It does NOT take 10-15 minutes to cook- my family and I ate chunks of dough before we realized the inside was not cooked. In actuality, it took about 30-40 minutes for it took cook completely. Maybe I used a different pizza dough that changed the cooking time, but incredibly disappointed because my husband had to leave for work before eating as the timing for this recipe was seriously was off.
Hi Kaitlyn, I’m sorry this didn’t work out for you! I’ve never had an issue when I’ve made it but I always use thin crust pizza dough, and that’s noted in the recipe. Maybe that’s where the issue was? Did you have the oven temp set to 425?
Maybe you should learn to english
